Brandon Inge spends a lot of time visiting sick children, and one asked him to hit a home run on Friday. "There's a kid named Noah that I've visited a couple times in the hospital, and he's at home right now, and I spent a couple hours with him today," Inge told Yahoo! Sports. "He asked me the dreaded question - could I hit a home run for him in the game, and I told him I'd do the best I could." Inge homered off Tampa Bay's Matt Garza in the second inning to give Detroit a 1-0 lead. "When that ball went over the fence ? that's just an awesome feeling," he said. "I see a lot of the kids at Mott Children's Hospital, and they always ask for a homer, and it's worked out twice now."
