Arencibia belted Tigers starter Randy Wolf's two-seam fastball a projected 464 feet, per Statcast™. It left his bat at 109 mph and returned to Earth at the base of Comerica Park's brick wall honoring its Hall of Famers.
"It was kind of that bittersweet thing," Arencibia said. "It needed to be a few more runs today, obviously. It was a good swing, but not enough."
The catcher finished 1-for-3, giving him a hit in each of his last five starts. The highlight of that streak was a six-RBI performance last Tuesday against the Orioles, when Arencibia tallied a pair of two-run singles and a two-run homer.
