A long journey from darkness, back to light for Tigers Akil Baddoo

Baltimore, Md. – It started with a triple against the Astros. A couple nights later against the White Sox he tripled again. He also walked, stole a base and scored twice.

On Monday he delivered a key two-run single against a left-handed pitcher that triggered a five-run inning. He again scored twice, both times racing around from first base on Riley Greene doubles.

Tuesday felt like a breakout. He put the Tigers on top with a two-run home run, his first in 54 games. And it was no cheapie. He sent it 448 feet into the bleachers in right-center.
