Detroit — The crowd at Comerica Park was on its feet. With the Tigers down 4-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Miguel Cabrera strode to the plate with the bases loaded.
Against reliever Dillon Tate, he drove a fastball high into the night air toward the shrubs in center field.
"I thought for sure he got it," said Jonathan Schoop, who was on second base. "I raised my hands and everything. It's just tough here. You really got to hit it good."
Center fielder Cedric Mullins tracked it and caught it at the wall, 422 feet away from the plate, just a few feet away from a game-changing grand slam.
