LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Detroit Tigers pounded out 22 hits, a spring high, on Friday night.

They nearly one-upped it the very next day.

The Tigers' bats stayed hot Saturday, combining for 10 runs and 12 hits in the first two innings en route to a 14-3 shellacking of the Houston Astros at Joker Marchant Stadium.

Ian Kinsler led the offensive charge, going 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs, including a two-run blast -- his first this spring -- to cap a four-run second inning. Two innings later, he homered again, this time off Chad Qualls, to make it 11-3.

It only took the Tigers just two innings for every player in the starting lineup to get a hit, chasing Astros starter Lucas Harrell from the game after only 1 2/3 innings. It's the second straight day every player in the starting lineup has had at least one hit.

In all, the Tigers pounded out 18 hits, nearly matching Friday's hit parade, and have now combined for 40 hits and 26 runs the past two days.

GAME NOTES

-- Eight of the first nine Tigers batters had a base hit, with Miguel Cabrera recording the lone out. Cabrera was slow to first base on his groundout and was spotted reaching for his left hamstring. He remained in the game and finished 1-for-4.

-- A day after going 4-for-4 with a pair of RBIs, Torii Hunter went 2-for-3 with three RBIs, including a two-run double in a first inning that saw everyone bat around. Hunter is now batting .367 this spring.

-- Making his fourth start this spring, Max Scherzer threw strikes, but was far from perfect. He gave up three runs -- all earned -- and five hits, including a pair of triples and a home run, in 4 2/3 innings.

-- Harrell, who led the American League in walks last season, didn't issue a walk Saturday, but allowed 10 runs, nine earned, on 12 hits. His ERA jumped from 3.00 to 10.13.

-- For the second straight day, Tyler Collins tripled. He also homered in the seventh, a solo blast to give the Tigers a 14-1 lead. A long shot to make the Tigers' opening day roster, Collins finished a single shy of the cycle and is now hitting .286 this spring.

-- As expected, Victor Martinez caught three innings, and showed no signs of discomfort or fatigue. He was replaced by Alex Avila in the fourth. Martinez, who hit leadoff in an effort to maximize the total number of at-bats, went 1-for-3.

-- Danny Worth, a candidate to make the opening day roster if Jose Iglesias remains sidelined, finished 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles and a run-scoring triple.
