Tigers walk-off Dodgers with one of the greatest comebacks in memory

Down by five runs, the Detroit Tigers entered the ninth inning against the L.A. Dodgers with less than 1% chance of winning the game, per FanGraphs. As the quote in Dumb and Dumber goes, "So you're saying there's a chance?"

Detroit put together a five-run ninth inning, capped by a game-tying, two-run home run to right field off the bat of the suddenly red-hot Colt Keith, then walked it off in the 10th inning with a two-run blast to left by Gio Urshela for the 10-9 victory. It was the biggest Tigers comeback in eight years.

Detroit Tigers complete one of their best comebacks in memory

The Tigers needed a win after blowing a one-run lead in the eighth inning on Friday night, but despite leading 2-1 early looked all but set to be run over by the Dodgers in front of a large home crowd at Comerica Park. L.A. chased young Tigers starter Keider Montero after five innings with a 5-2 lead at the time.

Home runs by Ryan Vilade and Andy Inbanez cut it to 5-4, but the Tigers bullpen couldn't stem the bleeding either, so L.A. led 9-4 entering the ninth inning. Two singles and a double quickly cut the game to 9-6 and resulted in a phone to the Dodgers bullpen to call in their closer. He got the next two Tigers out to pull the wind out of Detroit's sails, but they weren't done yet.

Hot-hitting catcher Carson Kelly singled in Matt Vierling, bringing the game-tying run to the plate. Keith sent the first pitch he saw home with a young fan in right field to tie the game at 9-9

If that's all the Tigers did Saturday, it would have been memorable. But they kept it up in extra innings.

With bases loaded, Will Vest got Freddie Freeman to hit a grounder up the middle. Zach McKinstry, subbing for Javy Baez at shortstop, made a diving stop and shuffled the ball to Keith, who completed the double play with a perfect throw to first.

By the time Urshela walked it off two batters later in the bottom of the 10th, it was almost anticlimactic.

The comeback was the Tigrers' biggest late-inning rally since scoring eight runs in the ninth against the Rays on June 30, 2016 for a 10-7 victory. Cameron Maybin drove in three runs for the win after Ian Kinsler tied it up with a run walked in.

Another big one victory came Sept. 21, 2013, when Detroit scored six runs in the bottom of the ninth after being shutout by the Chicago White Sox up until that point. It took a couple of more innings before Omar Infante walked off the game in the 12th, scoring Donnie Kelly.
