Episode Details

Eduardo Valencia stunned the baseball world with a walk-off home run in his very first Major League at-bat, launching a fastball 425 feet into the stands at Comerica Park to help the Tigers crush the Athletics 4-1. Called up from Triple-A Toledo to fill in for an injured catcher, Valencia’s power-hitting prowess — highlighted by 24 homers and a stellar average last season — finally paid off in a moment that echoed through the dugout, even earning a standing ovation from legend Justin Verlander. Now the 10th Tiger in history to homer in debut, Valencia’s dream is alive and his journey just beginning.
