Detroit – This one was a little gnarly.
A single being played into a triple. A missed cut-off man resulting in two free bases. A runner getting picked off second base with the bases loaded. A poorly-timed wild pitch.
Video from this will not be sent to Cooperstown.
But in the penultimate game of the season at Comerica Park Saturday night, the Tigers found a way to clip the Minnesota Twins 3-2. Nobody cares about aesthetics when you win, especially not the small but rowdy crowd who stood and cheered the final out.
Fittingly, the Tigers’ go-ahead run in the sixth inning was unearned
Javier Báez was hit with a pitch by reliever Ronny Henriquez to lead it off.
