The throw from Detroit Tigers left fielder Akil Baddoo looked perfect.
But the ball was late.
Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — the free extra-inning runner on second base to open the 10th inning — slid into home just before Baddoo's rocket connected with catcher Eric Haase, who turned to apply the tag. Guerrero had been running on Corey Dickerson's single.
The Tigers then failed to score in the bottom of the 10th, taking a 3-2 loss Saturday at Comerica Park. Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano pitched the ninth and 10th frames without giving up a run.
