New York — He got to second base and all he could do was hop up and down like he was on a pogo stick.
"Honestly, I blacked out," said Tigers center fielder Dustin Peterson, after he delivered the go-ahead run in the ninth inning of the Tigers 3-1 win over the Yankees. "I didn't know what to do. All the emotion, that's just what came out of me.
"I was amped, pumped. I got my hit, scored the go-ahead run. That was awesome."
Peterson, a rookie, was hitless in two pinch-hit at-bats with the Braves last season and he'd gone 0-for-7 so far this season.
