Justin Upton has been nothing short of remarkable for the Detroit Tigers this season. He leads the team in home runs and stolen bases and for a team that has had nothing to hold their heads high about, Justin Upton has been a bright spot.

His heroics were on display once again Saturday night as he carried the Tigers to a 12-11 walk off victory over the Twins. The home was Upton’s 22 of the season, and he got all of it.

Watch and Enjoy the J-UP Smash:

Walk 👏 It 👏 Off 👏 https://t.co/AGJOmtfLb5

Upton has the opportunity to opt out of his contract at the end of the season, which could make things very interesting for the Tigers in 2018. However, there’s one writer in Detroit that hopes that he is still in the old English D next season.
