Hernan Perez found himself in all too unfamiliar situation Sunday Night/Monday Morning, as the Detroit Tigers lost the home series finale to the Kansas City Royals 2-1, in ten innings.
Perez was again put in a spot, for the second time in the Detroit Tigers previous thirty-three games (his 20th total at bat in that span), where he was called upon to do the exact opposite of why he’s on the team: To use his bat, and not his glove, to help the Tigers tie a desperately needed ballgame.
In case you have forgotten, the last time Hernan found himself in this situation was the final play of the 2014 season against the Baltimore Orioles in Game 3 of the ALDS.
