When the baseball skipped underneath a diving Billy Hamilton's glove in center field, Tigers slugger Eric Haase put his legs into another gear. Known for driving home runs over the fenct, Haase has a secret weapon.
Speed.
The speedy Hamilton chased after the ball, which rolled to the warning track, but Jonathan Schoop and Miguel Cabrera easily touched home plate. Third base coach Chip Hale aggressively waved his arm. Haase chugged around third base and scored, for an inside-the-park three-run homer in the fourth inning.
But that moment wasn't the only reasons fans applauded Saturday at Comerica Park.
