Beer belts homer in first big league at-bat

It didn’t take long for former Clemson All-American Seth Beer to make a big impression in his first big league plate appearance.

Stepping to the dish as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning of his MLB debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Seattle Mariners in Seattle on Friday night, Beer hit a solo home run to right field off the Mariners’ Diego Castillo in what was his first career at-bat in The Show.

The former Tiger outfielder and first baseman became the 65th former Tiger to play in a major league game and 11th in 2021.
