 WASHINGTON (AP) - Sean Casey forgot the Washington Nationals used to be the Montreal Expos — but his bat sure didn't. Casey hit his first home run of the season, continuing his dominance of the Washington franchise, and the Detroit Tigers pounded out 17 hits in a 15-1 rout of the Nationals on Tuesday night.
"I can't tell you how many sleepless nights I've had thinking, 'You've got to be kidding me. I've got to get one here soon,'" said Casey, who had gone 211 at-bats this season without a homer. "It was nice to get it out of the way."
Casey's three-run shot to right field off Jason Simontacchi in the third was his first since last Oct. 27, when Detroit lost the fifth and final game of the World Series against St. Louis. Casey had not hit a regular-season homer since last Sept. 28. against Toronto.
