Wily Mo Pena last played in the major leagues for The Nationals three years ago.
The Diamondbacks brought him back for the sole purpose of being the extra bat in their lineup during this season's interleague road games.
In the eighth inning, with the score tied at six, he hit one that's still rolling through downtown Detroit. The solo homer by the D-Backs' extra bat in the lineup gave them a 7-6 win.
But let's go back to the their third inning.
Kelly Johnson led off with a single. Justin Upton hit a grounder to Ryan Scatterarm, who threw the ball away trying to get Johnson at second. Upton, given life, scored, an unearned run. If he doesn't, Pena's homer only ties the game.
But it's okay. RS's bat will heat up any day now. We've been promised.
