Detroit — It was this kind of night for the Tigers.
Already trailing 5-1 in the third inning, third baseman Jeimer Candelario thought Matt Davidson had left third base early after he tagged and scored the fifth run on a sacrifice fly. Candelario motioned to the dugout and to pitcher Ryan Carpenter and then he stayed on the base to await the appeal throw when play resumed.
Carpenter, though, got the all-clear sign from the dugout. Candelario did not and he stayed on the bag as Carpenter delivered the pitch to Smith. Naturally, Smith promptly hit a ground ball to third base.
