From April through June, Javy Báez managed to do the impossible: get Tigers fans to root for him. It sort of started in on April 30, when his first homer of the year came on a grand slam against the Astros, but what really did it was his two-homer, six-RBI night against the Red Sox on May 13, when he walked it off for Detroit in the bottom of the 11th with a miraculous homer.
Between those two dates, he batted .357 with a 1.148 OPS and was making plays in center field like he'd always been there.
