The crack of C.J. Cron’s bat told the whole tale. The night everyone could hit a home run, the man who won Tuesday’s game for the Angels was the only one to hit two. After the Angels blew a seven-run lead in two innings, Cron hit a walk-off, two-run home run to beat Detroit, 11-9, at Angel Stadium.
Foreshadowing what would come, Miguel Cabrera launched a 449-foot home run off a Hector Santiago fastball in Tuesday’s first inning, and Justin Upton launched a 421-foot home run off a Santiago changeup in the second inning.
