Jeimer Candelario Looking To Build On Walk-Off Homer
6 years agoDetroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario has been struggling at the dish over the last seven days, batting just .192 in that stretch. But in Saturday's contest against Cleveland, Candelario took Cody Allen deep for a two-run bomb in the 12th inning of a tie ball game to propel the Tigers to victory, a positive sign for fantasy owners. Candelario is in the lineup Sunday in the cleanup spot against Corey Kluber, against whom he is hitless in nine at-bats, so he'll have his work cut out for him. But maybe the walkoff is just what he needed to get things rolling.
