Justin Upton Celebrates Would-Be HR, Gets Only a Double After Ball Hits Wall

So close, Justin Upton.

With his Detroit Tigers looking to overcome a 3-2 deficit in the ninth inning of Saturday's bout with the Boston Red Sox, the 28-year-old outfielder blasted a ball to center field.

In fairness, it looked gone. But the ball stayed in the park.

As Upton trotted around first base celebrating the would-be dinger, Jackie Bradley Jr. fired the ball in to second.

Upton made it just in time, but the double was for naught—closer Craig Kimbrel struck out Casey McGehee one batter later.
