One hit.
That’s all the Detroit Tigers fans packing Comerica Park — well, as much as they could (and maybe more than) in a pandemic — were hoping for, all weekend long.
And, of course, the baseball gods obliged as they often do: One hit.
By Harold Castro. To break up a perfect game on Sunday, after 11 homerless plate appearances from Miguel Cabrera from Friday-Sunday.
The lesson, as always, is this: When dealing with the baseball gods — or “baseball fate,” as Tigers manager AJ Hinch put it Wednesday night — it pays to be specific.
