Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Báez put the baseball in play with runners on second and third and two outs in the fifth inning.
Good things followed, but not because of Báez's bat.
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes failed to field the bouncer from Báez cleanly. The ball skipped past him and into left field, allowing two runs to score.
The Tigers beat the Pirates, 3-2, in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader. Detroit improved to 8-14, with Game 2 scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m.
