Detroit — The Tigers' frustration in the 8-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins in Game 1 of a doubleheader Tuesday might have been best embodied by catcher Eric Haase.
In the second inning, with Spencer Torkelson on first, he lofted a towering fly ball to left. The ball left his bat with an exit velocity of 96.8 mph at a launch angle of 30 degrees and it traveled 368 feet.
In 20 of the 30 big-league ballparks, that's a two-run, game-tying home run. At Comerica Park, it was the third out of the inning.
"Honestly, I don't even know anymore," said Haase, who has two home runs on the season.
