LATEST: Tigers makes agreement on new manager.

The Hens were back home on Tuesday night, and they put together a come from behind victory for the home crowd in this one.

Jace Jung struck first, launching his second home run of the year in the bottom of the first with no one aboard. Austin Bergner got the start, but leaked three runs in the second inning. The right-hander bounced back with a clean third, and the Hens mounted a comeback in the bottom half of the inning.

With one out, Andrew Navigato bounced a single through the left side of the infield. Buddy Kennedy ripped a double to center field to score Navigato, and a Jung single later knocked in Kennedy to tie things at 3-3.

Lefty Andrew Vasquez took over as the bridge reliever in the fourth inning, but immediately hit Carter Bins to start the inning. Canaan Smith-Njigba singled Bins to third, and a Nick Gonzales ground ball brought Bins home and forced Smith-Njigba at second base. Dillon Dingler cut down Gonzales trying to steal second, which ultimately saved a run as Vasquez allowed another single before getting out of the inning.

Vasquez pitched a scoreless fifth inning, and the Hens got back to work in the batter’s box. Navigato doubled with one out, and Kennedy pulled his second homer of the year to left field. 5-4 Hens. Justyn-Henry Malloy then walked, but was cut down trying to steal second base. Jung walked as well, but Keston Hiura took a called strike three to end the inning.

Beau Brieske took over on the mound, spinning 2 ¹⁄₃ innings of one hit ball with three strikeouts. The Hens stranded Akil Baddoo after a one out double in the sixth. In the bottom of the seventh, Navigato, having taken over at shortstop with both Ryan Kreidler and Eddys Leonard out with injuries, lead off with a walk. Kennedy’s grounder forced Navigato at second, but Malloy drew a walk, and Jung smoked a double to right field to drive in Kennedy.

That was all they’d get, but a 6-4 lead would be enough. Brenan Hanifee allowed a solo shot in the eighth, but struck out the side in the ninth for his first save of the year.
