Instead their spirits were crushed by a three-run walk-off home run by Javier Báez as the Tigers emerged with a wild 10-9 victory. President Trump says the jet is a gift to the Defense Department, not a personal one, but lawmakers are raising concerns about the ethical and national security implications.

The Tigers squandered four leads — 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 and 6-4 — across the first eight innings May 13 against the Boston Red Sox, then Báez secured an 10-9 win with a three-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning. The Tigers (28-15) own the best record in the American League.

Baez thrilled the hometown fans at Comerica Park with a three-run shot that travled 392 feet at an exit velocity of 106 miles per hour and a launch angle of 23 degrees. Baez's home run was his fourth of the season and 24th run batted in of the season as the Tigers did their best to take control of a challenging game in the Motor City.
