Tigers manager A.J. Hinch had talked to Akil Baddoo about getting away from his plate discipline in recent days.
“I hope he settles back into commanding the strike zone the way that he did when he was at his best,” Hinch said before Wednesday’s 8-6 win over the A’s at Comerica Park. “That, to me, would be a small goal for him to finish what’s been a spectacular performance.”
