Detroit Tigers catcher Wilson Ramos leads MLB in home runs: 'Dream come true'

Detroit Tigers catcher Wilson Ramos is turning back the clock.

It's not 2016, when Ramos crushed a career-high 22 home runs in 131 games for the Washington Nationals. But it's not 2020, either, when the 12-year MLB veteran only picked up five homers in 45 games for the New York Mets.

Until someone dethrones him, Ramos leads the major leagues in 2021 with six home runs. He has needed just nine games to reach this total, thanks to a two-homer performance in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
