A Detroit Tigers fan spilled a drink on himself while reaching for a home run ball during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels at Comerica Park. Detroit outfielder Wenceel Perez hit a Grayson Rodriguez fastball over the right-field wall in the second inning. The fan extended both hands toward the ball, one of which held a full cup.
The ball struck the cup and caused liquid to spill down the man's Tigers shirt. Another spectator retrieved the ball. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead on the play. The man did not appear visibly upset after the spill.
It was the second notable moment of the series at the Detroit ballpark. Thursday's game marked the final contest of the series.
