Javier Baez shines in his debut match for the Detroit Tigers
Notably, after his $140 million deal, this was El Mago’s debut game for the Tigers. And the Puerto Rican shortstop proved his worth in his first game of the season. Earlier in the 2022 off-season, Baez signed a six-year deal with the Detroit Tigers for a whopping $140 million.
At once, the Chicago White Sox were leading the game 3-0 against the Tigers. And in the ninth inning, the game was tied at 4-4. But, Baez hit the White Sox pitcher Liam Hendricks for a walk-off home run to the right-field wall and secured the 5-4 win for the Tigers in their opening day game.
