Chicago – At the end of the night, the Tigers were still anchored at the bottom of the Central Division, long, long out of the playoff chase.
But that doesn't mean they can't still have some fun. And there was plenty to enjoy in their 7-2 win over the free-falling Chicago White Sox Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.
There was Javier Báez, who has hit in nine straight games against the White Sox this season, blasting a 410-foot, three-run homer in the seventh inning and then taking 30 seconds to lope around the bases, cupping his ear as he rounded first egging on the 36,000-plus who had been booing him all night.
