Detroit Tigers rookie Akil Baddoo lost his helmet while rounding first base.
He never looked back.
Baddoo's flying helmet often signifies a stolen base, infield single, double or triple. In this situation, he was determined to reach third. Even a small stumble after touching second base didn't stop him from a stand-up triple with two outs in the second inning.
The 22-year-old outfielder cleared the bases for three RBIs early in Saturday's Game 2, but 38-year-old veteran Miguel Cabrera played hero for the Tigers (42-51) with a walk-off bloop single into center field. He scored Jonathan Schoop from first base, giving his team a 5-4 win and a sweep of the doubleheader at Comerica Park.
