Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch thought Jonathan Schoop had been grazed on the knee by a second-pitch sinker from Tampa Bay Rays reliever Andrew Kittredge, who took over with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh inning.
Hinch challenged the call on the field, but the replay review backed the call from home plate umpire Jordan Baker. Although the pitch came close to Schoop's knee, it never made contact with his body.
Two pitches later, Schoop unleashed on Kittredge's slider for a go-ahead grand slam.
Schoop's grand slam against Tampa Bay's best reliever gave the Tigers a 7-4 lead, providing the momentum needed to cruise to the finish line.
