- Tigers embarrassed by Brewers in 12-4 loss; Jake Rogers throws 1st strikeout
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Jahmai Jones put a charge into an elevated fastball from Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison in the third inning, driving a ball to left field.
The play ended up with the ball in the glove of left fielder Blake Perkins , who reached over the fence to rob Jones of a home run – a key moment early on in a game that turned lopsided.
