Prince Fielder went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the Tigers' win over the Rays on Tuesday.
Fielder had two singles to go along with his 12th homer, and even his one out was an RBI sacrifice fly. The first baseman is now hitting .283/.395/.519, and his 48 RBI would be more impressive if he wasn't on the same team as Miguel Cabrera.

Prince Fielder went 0-for-4 in Saturday's loss to the Twins.
Fielder hasn't hit a home run since May 10 and is batting just .235/.380/.383 this month. He's seeing the ball fine and drawing plenty of walks. The power will return. Cecil's son is scuffling a bit and being overshadowed by demigod Miguel Cabrera. If someone is dumb enough to sell low on Prince, be smart enough to buy.

Entering play on Thursday, Prince Fielder was hitting just .229 in May.
Over 13 games this month, the mammoth slugger has posted a pedestrian (for him, at least) .229/.383/.417 triple slash. With 11 of those games against the Astros, Twins and Indians, Fielder owners were surely looking for more fantasy production. Since posting a 1.009 OPS in the season's opening month, pitchers are tap dancing around Fielder, walking him 13 times (including three HBPs and one IBB) in 60 May plate appearances. He leads the American League in walks and times on base.
