After a single from Miguel Cabrera and an RBI double from Javier Baez, it was Meadows who stepped up to the plate and played the role of hero with his 1st career home run, walking it off for the Tigers and becoming just the 8th player in team history to hit their first long ball in the walk-off variety.
And as you can see, his teammates as well as the crowd at Comerica Park were absolutely thrilled for him.
