Detroit Tigers' fans didn't have too much to cheer about early on at Comerica Park on Monday.
The Tigers were trailing 3-0 in the second inning in the opener against the Baltimore Orioles and were down 8-5 in the bottom of the seventh inning.
That's when the fans let out a big cheer as an elusive squirrel popped onto the field and escaped the clutches of park staff.
Finally, the squirrel was covered in a towel and taken off the field, much to the chagrin of the disappointed fans.
In the top of the eighth inning, the Tigers' mascot, Paws, put up a sign, "Free the Squirrel."
Tigers announcer Jason Benetti had fun describing the outfield antics.
"The squirrel is free once again," he said. "Hemmed in. No. I won't be hemmed in. I have freedom on my mind!"
