It had been 36 days since Brandon Dixon last homered on 31 July, but on Friday morning (Australian time) he left the yard for the 15th time to spark the Detroit Tigers’ comeback win over the Royals in Kansas City.

Former Melbourne import Yusei Kikuchi fired a two-hit shutout as Seattle downed Toronto 7-0 at Rogers Centre earlier this morning.
The left-hander, who spent the 2011/12 ABL season with the Aces, used just 96 pitches to record 27 outs in his longest MLB outing.

It has been a miserable season for Detroit, which sits last in MLB with a 37-84 record.
And in the Tigers’ past two games former ABL imports have added more pain, landing walk-off blows for Tampa Bay.
