After having a delayed start out of the batter&#8217;s box while watching what he believed to be a home run, he legged out a double off Toronto&#8217;s Chris Bassitt in the top of the second inning, marking his first extra-base hit of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In the Tigers&#8217; subsequent at-bat, Akil Baddoo lined out to the centre field, although it seemed B\u00e1ez was unaware that this was only the second out of the inning.
