Detroit Tigers reliever Alex Lange bounced a fresh ball from his glove to pitching hand while Abraham Toro rounded third base on his way to home after lining a curveball over the right-field wall for a two-run home run in the seventh inning.
"We got beat," catcher Eric Haase said. "But at the same time, that's his best pitch."
Lange, one of the Tigers' most effective relievers in the first half of the season, has allowed 16 earned runs in 16 innings since the All-Star break. On the pitch before Toro's home run, Adam Frazier smoked a triple.
