Detroit — The smile on Akil Baddoo's face was priceless and it contrasted wonderfully with the look of utter dismay on Hunter Dozier's face.
Baseball creates great moments just about every night. And before Miguel Cabrera's three-hit, four-RBI performance propelled the Tigers to a 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals at Comerica Park Saturday, Baddoo exacted some personal, playful revenge on Dozier.
"I told him I owed him one," Baddoo said.
Dozier robbed Baddoo of extra bases with an incredible running catch in the first inning on Friday night. Leading off the third inning Saturday, Dozier thought he had hit his 16th home run of the year, sending a 95-mph fastball rocketing toward the bullpen in left field.
