Javier Baez's dramatic walk-off hit delivers Detroit Tigers 5-4 win over Chicago White Sox on Opening Day

DETROIT -- The Javy Baez experience in Detroit got off to a dramatic start on Opening Day after the newest Tiger walked off the White Sox with a base hit off the right field wall, plating Austin Meadows with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday.

The play was initially called an out, but a video review clearly showed the ball bouncing off the wall before right fielder AJ Pollock bobbled, then caught it. The Tigers swarmed the field while home plate umpire Marvin Hudson made the announcement: Call overturned.
