Former Detroit Tigers catcher John Hicks has played four games for the Texas Rangers.
In the fourth inning, he stepped into the batter's box for his 10th at-bat in 2021. Three pitches later, Hicks came away with his fourth home run — a two-run blast for a 2-1 lead — on a hanging slider from Tigers starter Jose Urena.
Detroit's newest catchers came to the rescue in the sixth and seventh innings. Trailing by four runs, Jake Rogers crushed a solo home run in the sixth. Eric Haase then added a pinch-hit three-run homer to tie the game at five runs in the seventh.
