The Tigers had just taken a 3-1 advantage in the top half of the fourth inning when the Red Sox answered right back. Following a one-out walk by Connor Wong, Hamilton crushed a 381-foot two-run blast off of Chris Paddack that evened the score at three runs apiece. The speedy 27-year-old finishes the season slashing a pitiful .198/.257/.333 with six homers, 19 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 194 plate appearances.

The decision to bring Hamilton back to the big leagues seems to have something to do with moving a struggling Ceddanne Rafaela back to the outfield. His offensive numbers have taken a big hit since he was moved to second base on a more regular basis.

This is the move that finally makes room om the roster for Ali Sánchez, who was claimed on waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday. Although he’s obviously struggled this year, Hamilton still seems like a more useful guy to have on the roster than Abraham Toro, who is still living off his three good weeks 2 1/2 months ago. Hamilton has hit .174/.227/.265 with 17 steals in 143 plate appearances this season.

The Red Sox plan on activating Alex Bregman from the injured list on Friday and someone needed to get bumped from the roster to make room for him. Unfortunately, Hamilton drew the short straw this time around. He’ll continue to bide his time at Triple-A until he’s needed once again.

With Kristian Campbell out of the way, Hamilton should offer mixed-league value for at least a couple of weeks here, at least until Alex Bregman returns and probably shoves Marcelo Mayer to second base. The homer tonight was Hamilton’s third of the season.

This was a 1-1 game through six before the Red Sox scored twice in the seventh and three times in the eighth. Hamilton, who just 3-for-33 coming in, doubled his season hit total tonight. Triston Casas’s injury doesn’t figure to benefit Hamilton overly much, so he can be left on the waiver wire in spite of his stolen base ability.

Kristian Campbell will shift to center field, and Ceddanne Rafaela will take a seat on the bench. Rafaela is hitting .231/.302/.385 with four steals and a 12:2 K:BB ratio over his last 12 games, but Hamilton has not been playing well enough to be a real threat to his playing time. The bigger threat would be the Red Sox calling up Roman Anthony and moving Jarren Duran to center field.

Hamilton’s third-inning round-tripper — his first big fly of the season — represented the lone tally for either side during a rare low-scoring pitcher’s duel at high-octane Steinbrenner Field.
