Tigers' Báez delivers clutch hit in 10th inning to beat Royals: 'Best feeling in the world'

Kansas City – This one would've left a mark. The Tigers had leads of 3-0 and 5-3. They had base runners in every inning but one. They drew eight walks and had 11 hits. But they left 13 runners on base and were 3-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

Which is why, against a Kansas City Royals team that was 20 games under .500, the game was tied 5-5 after nine innings.

"If we had left all those guys on base and lost the game, it would have hurt − it would have hurt a lot," right fielder Matt Vierling said.
