It was a rare forgettable day for the Tigers, from the pitching mistakes to the fielding errors to reliever Will Vest’s injury. It dampened the mood for the sellout crowd, but on Father’s Day, there’s always room for a life lesson. Because it was an unforgettable day for one Tiger, who delivered a healthy slice of perspective in an otherwise sour outcome.

Leading off the third inning, Jones drilled a home run to left-centerfield to give the Tigers a 1-0 edge.
