ST. LOUIS — The ball landed in Big Mac Land.
At that moment, it felt like the Detroit Tigers would finally lose.
Nolan Arenado, a seven-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger, had unloaded on right-hander Spencer Turnbull's fastball with two strikes and two outs in the fifth inning. The homer landed in the third deck in left field at Busch Stadium.
But the Tigers, relying on a scrappy brand of baseball, mounted another comeback and won, 6-5, in 10 innings Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. The victory extended the Tigers' winning streak to five games.
