On a humid Tuesday night at Comerica Park this week, a stunning comeback story, one of many for the rampaging Detroit Tigers that may come to define this season, reached a new peak as Javier Báez launched two home runs, including an 11th inning, three-run walkoff homer for the ages.
Coming on the heels of a two-run go-ahead shot by a very talented Boston Red Sox rookie in Kristian Campbell, the dagger from Báez sent the home crowd into a frenzy and continued what has already been a remarkable start to the season.
On Friday night in Toronto, a diving catch turned into a double play, and a solo shot to left from Báez helped propel the Tigers to a 30-15 record, best in all the major leagues.
