A squirrel ran around the field and distracted players and broadcasters during Tuesday's Detroit Tigers game against San Francisco.
The black squirrel made its appearance as Giants leadoff batter Mike Yastremski was at the plate to start the game. Unlike other appearances by squirrels at MLB games, this squirrel did not cause an interruption in the game as he kept himself to the outfield.
The squirrel ran past Tigers left fielder Riley Greene and headed to the warning track, where he found his way into the Tigers bullpen, scaring reliever Tyler Holton.

There's nothing like seeing MLB players and fans reacting to squirrels. Always good for a few laughs.
The Tigers beat the Giants 3-1 for their third straight win, so we may have another "Rally Squirrel" on our hands.
