Chicago — The lessons never stop coming in this game, especially at the major-league level. Rookie Akil Baddoo had a couple of teachable moments in one critical inning Sunday as the Tigers lost the series finale to the White Sox, 3-0.
Baddoo, who started in left field, had two plays go awry in the three-run second. He made a herculean diving effort to run down a slicing drive by Adam Eaton down the left-field line. But after he slid into the padding, he didn’t immediately get up to chase the ball.
It was if he thought it was foul.
