Detroit— September baseball isn’t always aesthetically pleasing.
Case in point: The Cincinnati Reds' 4-3 win over the Tigers Wednesday at Comerica Park. The winning run came in the fourth inning and was scored on a strike-em-out, throw-em-out play at second base. True story.
This one featured a combined 14 walks, a hit-batsman, a parade of relievers and a fleet of runners stranded in scoring position — the video won’t be sent to Cooperstown.
The Tigers were 3 for 14 with runners in scoring position in the 6-5, 10-inning loss Tuesday night. They were 1 for 13 Wednesday.
