Detroit 8, Chicago 2
Did anybody happen to Salazar’s home run in the 3rd inning? It was actually between periods in the Wings game so maybe some of you flipped over. With a runner on second and two strikes, he fouled off several pitches as he tried to hit behind the runner. Then he got a pitch he could handle and ripped it. It was just a great piece of hitting that you don’t generally see from anyone on the Tigers other than Fick. What’s great is that Mike Rivera had a similar at-bat prior to Salazar that went almost the same way, and resulted in a double.
