Fielder far removed from last postseason foray
Fielder's solo shot 0:51 9/28/15: Prince Fielder belts a line-drive home run to right field, tying the game at 1 in the 4th inning with his 23rd long ball Game Date Time Matchup TV Gm 1 Oct. 8 3:30 p.m. ET TEX @ TOR FS1/SNET Gm 2 Oct. 9 12:30 p.m. ET TEX @ TOR MLBN/SNET Gm 3 Oct. 11 8 p.m. ET TOR vs. TEX FS1/SNET *Gm 4 Oct. 12 TBA TOR vs. TEX FS1/SNET *Gm 5 Oct. 14 TBA TEX @ TOR FS1/SNET It didn't go over well in Detroit, moreso for the timing than the message after Fielder didn't drive in a run in the postseason, and it lingered until his trade to Texas for second baseman Ian Kinsler a month later. It was a baseball decision for the Tigers, who had first basemen/designated hitters Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez on the roster, and the Rangers, who had young infielders on the way and Kinsler under a long-term contract.
