Atlanta — Christin Stewart's performance pretty much summed up the day for the Tigers.
He got a career-best three hits, knocked in two runs and scored one. But, after the 10-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves Saturday, he had to answer questions about a most bizarre baserunning play in the fifth inning.
"I just didn't slide," he said.
There was more to it than that.
Stewart's one-out base hit drove in a pair of runs to put the Tigers up 3-2 and it looked like they had Braves starter Mike Soroka on the ropes.
