On a night dedicated to the youngest baseball players in the world as part of the Little League Classic, it was Detroit’s rookies who willed the Tigers to a 3-2 walk-off win in extra innings over the New York Yankees.
Things looked bleak for most of the night. Tarik Skubal was shoving, as usual, but the Tigers couldn’t figure out how to bring in a run. Facing one of the most expensive lineups in the sport added even more pressure to the challenge, but Colt Keith, Jace Jung and Parker Meadows were ready for the spotlight.
