Tigers 2014 Game 48: Currens Hominis

This win belonged to Rajai Davis, with that alert steal of third that almost resembled a high-school level game, but I think was down to Abad's focus on getting the batter out. Al Alburquerque gains a Hero's Palm even though, in terms of Win Expectancy, both Joba Chamberlain's eighth and Joe Nathan's ninth innings had more value. Alburquerque faced the heart of the Athletics' batting order in earning his palm. The last out of Alburquerque's stint, a one-handed catch by J D Martinez, was scary. He only just made it.
