Dan Dickerson calls Javier Baez’s game-winning 3-run double
Take a listen as Dickerson calls Baez’s game-winning double in the top of the 10th inning.
Bottom Line: Baez is trying to get back on track
Baez was due as he had gone without a hit in his past four games. On the season, Baez is batting .238 with three home runs and 22 RBIs. He is only slugging .335 on the season and has an OPS of just .628. The Tigers are paying Baez a boatload of cash, and they badly need him to start performing on the offensive side of the ball.
