Tigers 3, Rays 2: John Hicks had a walkoff safety squeeze and it was glorious

The Detroit Tigers and the Tampa Bay Rays wrapped up their three-game set at Comerica Park this afternoon in a pitcher’s duel between Tigers ace Michael Fulmer and a red hot Blake Snell for the Rays. Behind late-inning heroics and a strong showing from the bullpen, the Tigers took the series in a 3-2 victory.

The game was a battle of small ball and pitch count early, but after a James McCann home run, the game turned into a battle of the bullpens in extra innings. Thankfully, the Tigers emerged victorious behind a strong showing by the bullpen, a JaCoby Jones triple, and a John Hicks walk-off bunt.
