Electric atmosphere and missed opportunities. I’ve said this before, but one of the most underrated plays in baseball is the clutch strikeout that shuts down a rally and this game had multiple moments like that as the Tigers left multiple runners on base in 4 consecutive innings and again in the 9th. My favourite was easily Herrin coming in and getting back-to-back strikeouts with runners on the corners. Honourable mention to Smith closing it out. On the other side, Rocchio, who had 4 home runs this year, hit the biggest home run of the season to open the floodgates and that led to Bo Naylor’s 3 run home run. The Tigers did not die easily, even loaded the bases in the 9th, but they missed their chance, by inches thanks to a slick catch to end it.
