Dan Meyer smashed the first two homers of his major league career and Tom Veryzer drove in four runs with three hits, including a homer, to lead the Tigers to an 8-5 victory over the Brewers. Meyer connected for solo swats in the third and seventh innings, while Veryzer rapped his round-tripper with a man on base in the second and singled home runs in the seventh and ninth.
