'Little League' mistakes plague Detroit Tigers in third straight loss

The Detroit Tigers are young, but they're too old for the mistake they made in the eighth inning on Saturday night against the Cleveland Indians.

Down one with two outs, catcher John Hicks looked left and saw Cleveland lcenter fielder, and former Tiger, Leonys Martin creeping his way down the third-base line.

And with one mistake by Victor Alcántara, Martín realized his opening, and he made the young relief pitcher pay as he jetted for home.

"I saw him take off and I was yelling everything I had to step off and the ball kind of got there as right as he did.
