DETROIT -- The ¡°Let¡¯s Go Dodgers¡± chants grew loud around Comerica Park, amplified by a bevy of fans traveling to see the Dodgers¡¯ star-studded lineup. They were having a blast Saturday afternoon, having watched Shohei Ohtani¡¯s 200th career home run, and they were waiting for the exclamation point on another Los Angeles victory with a five-run lead in the ninth.

It was a road show that the Tigers turned into a trap.

¡°We¡¯re a really scrappy team,¡± said Colt Keith, whose two-run homer punctuated a ninth-inning comeback before Gio Urshela¡¯s 10th-inning homer completed an 11-9 Detroit victory. ¡°We have a lot of ninth-inning wins this year. We never gave up. Even falling down 9-4, I feel like there was no change, no falter there. Everyone was going in, trying to have a good at-bat. That¡¯s what we did. I feel like there was no change, no falter there.¡±

They did it against a team that had been 48-0 when leading after eight innings.

¡°That¡¯s pretty cool,¡± Zach McKinstry said. ¡°Now [48] and one.¡±

Even for this team, it was a big ask. The Tigers have 20 comeback wins this season, and 10 when trailing after six innings. This was their second when trailing after eight. Their largest comeback in a win this season had been three runs, but they¡¯d done it five times.

Detroit is a scrappy team in part because of its youth. Five of the Tigers¡¯ seven unanswered runs were scored or driven in by rookies.

The hits came so quickly that the task became less daunting in a hurry. Rookies Wenceel P¨¦rez and Justyn-Henry Malloy singled off just-recalled rookie reliever Ricky Vanasco, Matt Vierling poked a double just inside the left-field line to drive both home two pitches later, and suddenly the Tigers had the potential tying run on deck as manager Dave Roberts turned to closer Evan Phillips.

¡°All that energy, everybody just contributing,¡± McKinstry said.

Phillips nearly quieted it all by retiring Riley Greene and striking out Jake Rogers, but Carson Kelly¡¯s two-out single brought Vierling home and Keith to the plate as the tying run.

While everybody became wrapped in the moment, Keith thought back to Friday night. He pinch-hit in the series opener against Phillips, who threw him back-to-back cutters, one over the middle of the plate that Keith fouled off before flying out off a sinker.

¡°I feel like he¡¯s like 70 percent first-pitch cutters,¡± Keith said. ¡°I told [hitting coach Michael Brdar], ¡®I¡¯m gonna pull it.¡¯ And he threw one in.¡±

The resulting 364-foot drive would¡¯ve been a home run in 10 Major League parks. Comerica Park was one.

The crowd, minus Dodgers fans, went wild.

¡°Glad for the Tigers fans that showed up, bought tickets,¡± Keith said. ¡°I¡¯m sure it was hard to get, but we were able to show out for them.¡±

He wasn¡¯t done. When Freddie Freeman scorched a ground ball up the middle at 101.4 miles per hour with the bases loaded in the 10th, Keith raced to cover second base as McKinstry made a diving stop. Freeman bolted down the line at 28.0 feet per second, his second-fastest speed down the line this season according to Statcast, but McKinstry¡¯s flip from the ground and Keith¡¯s quick turn denied the Dodgers a go-ahead run.

¡°I couldn¡¯t believe that Zach got to that ball,¡± Keith said. ¡°Right before the play happened, he said if it¡¯s hit to him to get to second.¡±

With that, the Tigers could manufacture a winning run in the bottom of the inning. P¨¦rez bunted automatic runner Ryan Vilade to third base, leaving Urshela needing only a fly ball.

¡°I went back to tag, honestly,¡± said Vilade, who hit his first Major League home run in the fifth inning. ¡°And then it was 20 feet past left field.¡±

It was a comeback that left the normally eloquent manager A.J. Hinch nearly at a loss for words.

¡°I don¡¯t know how to appropriately comment on that game,¡± Hinch said, ¡°other than it¡¯s an amazing feeling to see the guys happy. What a comeback, on both sides of the ball. We were under so much pressure the entire game.¡±

That Keith and the other rookies held up under pressure is a big sign.

¡°I think I¡¯m getting better every day,¡± Keith said. ¡°I¡¯m just going to try to keep having good at-bats, try to put the barrel on the ball. That¡¯s one of the coolest moments yet. The Dodgers have a billion dollars worth of players, and we were able to beat them with our boys here.¡±
