DETROIT -- On the first night of the Tigers' 50th anniversary celebration of their 1968 World Series win over the Cardinals, Jeimer Candelario provided some dramatics for the current Tigers against St. Louis' best. He jumped on a 102 mph first-pitch fastball from Jordan Hicks for a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Tigers their fourth win in five games with a 5-3 victory over the Cardinals on Friday night at Comerica Park.
The battle of the bullpens came down to a couple swings off Hicks in his second inning of work.
