Tigers rookie Daz Cameron starting to look and feel like he belongs

Minneapolis — Daz Cameron’s first thought, after he smoked a pitch from Cody Stashak in the fifth inning Tuesday (the ball left his bat with an exit velocity of 104 mph), was that he hit it to the wrong part of Target Field.

The part that is patrolled by Twins center fielder Byron Buxton.

“Oh yeah, man, when I hit it I thought he would get to it,” Cameron said. “I’ve been seeing so many highlight reels on ESPN and 'SportsCenter' of him making catches at the wall and running into the wall. I’m not going to lie, I thought he had a chance at first.
