- A squirrel ran loose on the field during the Detroit Tigers versus Baltimore Orioles game at Comerica Park.
- Orioles third base coach Buck Britton fed the animal, encouraging it to remain on the field.
- The Tigers grounds crew attempted to capture the squirrel, resulting in a comedic chase across the outfield.
- Announcers enthusiastically narrated the event, while fans reacted with a mix of laughter and boos as the squirrel was finally caught.
The chase for the squirrel is on. And the squirrel is in the corner and the squirrel is still eluding an entire horde of groundscrew members. And the squirrel is free once again. Hemmed in? No, I won’t be hemmed in! I have freedom on my mind! Trying to go between the legs and eventually he gets away again! And hops through the towel! And hops through another towel.— Jason Benetti, calling the Tigers' local broadcast from Comerica Park, describing the squirrel chase during the Orioles–Tigers game
