McCann enjoys winning trek around bases

Thursday, he said, was a sweeter trek around the bases. Instead of a mad dash, he could enjoy the Tigers' 6-5 win over the Astros.

"To be able to put a 'W' on the board, and be able to jog, is a lot nicer than having to sprint," McCann said.

It was pretty nice for his team, too.

McCann had a leadoff single in the Tigers' two-run fifth inning, but otherwise had been quiet for most of the game.
