Jahmai Jones — pinch-hitting in his Detroit Tigers debut — crushed a home run on the first pitch he saw in the eighth inning June 6 at Comerica Park.

Spencer Torkelson hit a sixth-inning solo home run to back Tarik Skubal's 7 2/3-inning gem as the Tigers beat the Cubs, 3-1.

The stairs lead to a nondescript green door. Almost a mysterious entry point. But like all things with the Tigers these days, there was a specific, targeted purpose. The stairs and the door lead to Detroit’s so-called smart cage, a project completed midway through last season as part of the team’s multiyear overhaul of the home clubhouse.

The action got an early start during the Detroit Tigers' game against the San Francisco Giants when a squirrel ran out onto the field at the start of the baseball game.
