What happened: A squirrel entered the field during Monday's Orioles-Tigers game at Comerica Park, prompting a prolonged removal effort. Another squirrel visited the park's outfield on June 2, 2009.
Why it matters: The repeat interruption adds an unusual 17-year callback to Detroit's ballpark history. It had no bearing on the result.
By the numbers: The two squirrel appearances came 17 years apart: June 2, 2009, and July 27, 2026.
What to watch: Baltimore and Detroit continue their three-game series Tuesday and Wednesday at Comerica Park.
