Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Blasts key home run Wednesday
Trey Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.Sweeney capped off a six-run first inning with a three-run shot, his fourth home run in 21 games since making his MLB debut on Aug. 16. The 24-year-old has some offensive upside, and with Javier Baez (hip) out for the season, Sweeney is getting an extended look at shortstop. Baez has struggled since coming over to Detroit and will be 32 when the 2025 season gets underway, so Sweeney could take the job and run with it, though Baez is still owed $73 million through 2027, which could complicate the situation.
