Great Day for Young -- 5 Hits
No matter what the Tampa Bay Devil Rays threw at him, Odell Young hit it. He easily handled Devil Rays pitching, going 5 for 5 and helping the Tigers triumph, 11-9, at Comerica Park.

"The way I was swinging, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball," he told BNN reporters in the postgame interview.

Told of Young's quip, Devil Rays skipper Brenton S said he "would take him up on that next time."

Odell Young hit a solo-shot off Kevin McGerry in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

So far this year in 152 games, Young is hitting .278 with 22 home runs, 97 RBIs and 82 runs scored.
