Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani hit the 200th home run of his MLB career in the fifth inning of Saturday's game. The milestone homer put the Dodgers ahead of the Detroit Tigers on the scoreboard.

It took a while, but the Tigers picked up some home-run magic of their own as they clawed back with an improbable five-run ninth inning to even the score, highlighted by a clutch game-tying home run from rookie Colt Keith.

The Tigers then beat the Dodgers, 11-9, in 10 innings in the second of three games in the series at Comerica Park, playing in front of 40,196 fans. Gio Urshela hit a walk-off two-run home run to complete the comeback victory.

"I don't know how to appropriately comment on that game," manager A.J. Hinch said, "other than it's an amazing feeling to see the guys happy inside. What a comeback."

The Tigers (46-50) — winners in nine of their past 12 games — have one more game until the All-Star break.

The epic ninth inning began with three consecutive hits off right-handed reliever Ricky Vanasco: Wenceel Pérez's single, Justyn-Henry Malloy's single and Matt Vierling's double. The double from Vierling drove in two runs and trimmed the Tigers' deficit to 9-6.

Riley Greene grounded out and Jake Rogers struck out, putting the Tigers down to their final out. But Carson Kelly kept the Tigers alive with an RBI single off right-handed reliever Evan Phillips, making it 9-7.

Then, Keith — a 22-year-old playing in the 85th game of his MLB career — turned on a first-pitch, up-and-in cutter from Phillips for a two-run home run to right field. His ninth homer of the season tied the game at 9-9.

Keith has five homers in his past 10 games.

"It's one of the coolest moments yet," Keith said. "Playing the Dodgers, obviously got a billion dollars worth of players, and we were able to beat them with the boys here. It was fun."

The Tigers scored their first two runs on Keith's two-run double in the second inning against left-hander Justin Wrobleski. Keith finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs, one walk and one strikeout.

But Keith wasn't done.

In the top of the 10th, he turned an incredible double play (with shortstop Zach McKinstry) to strand the bases loaded, completing the play after right-handed reliever Will Vest utilized his slider to induce a ground ball from Freddie Freeman.

"I couldn't believe that Zach got to that ball," Keith said. "Right before the play happened, he said, if it's to him, I'm going to get there to second. I told him I would. It just worked out perfectly. Bases loaded, able to get that double play and get out of it them scoring, it was one of the coolest moments I've had yet."

In the 10th inning, the Tigers advanced their free runner from second base to third base on a sacrifice bunt from Pérez, and although Urshela only needed a deep fly ball, he cleared the fence in left-center field for a walk-off home run.

He hit a middle-middle sweeper from right-handed reliever Yohan Ramírez.

"Amazing," Urshela said. "We'd been fighting all game today. Go to the ninth down by five — amazing. The entire lineup did something to win this game. Colt, huge homer."

Shohei Ohtani's milestone

There were a lot of Dodgers fans in attendance.

As a result, there were a lot of cheers after Ohtani destroyed a middle-middle changeup from right-hander Keider Montero for a solo home run in the fifth inning, making it 3-2.

"I'll tip my cap to him," Hinch said, "but I didn't love the homer."

Montero, 24, allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks with four strikeouts across five innings, throwing 92 pitches. He owns a 5.47 ERA through five games in his MLB career and will stay in the starting rotation coming out of the All-Star break.

"I was just trying to give 100% of myself," Montero said in Spanish through team interpreter Carlos Guillén. "I say that every outing. I know it was not the best outing I've ever had, but I wanted to compete with the stuff I had at the moment."

Ohtani also put the Dodgers ahead, 1-0, in the first inning when he scored from third base on a groundout after opening the game with a triple to right field.

After Montero, the Dodgers scored one run off left-handed reliever Joey Wentz, two runs off right-handed reliever Alex Faedo and one run off left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin.

Ohtani scored for the third and final time in the eighth inning, boosting the Dodgers' lead to 9-4, on Freeman's sacrifice fly. Before crossing home plate, he walked on five pitches, stole second base and moved up to third base on Teoscar Hernández's single.

Ohtani has 29 homers and 23 steals in 93 games.

He finished only a double shy of the cycle.

"I feel like he hits in three different spots in the order because he's up every inning, it feels like," Hinch said. "He's a special player and doing it under the biggest spotlight in the spot. It's pretty incredible."

Ryan Vilade's milestone

A memorable moment occurred in the fifth inning, when Ryan Vilade hit the first home run of his MLB career. He tagged a cutter from Wrobleski at the bottom of the strike zone for a 389-foot solo home run to left-center field.

His first homer happened in his ninth MLB game.

"I didn't really feel it," Vilade said. "It's just one of those swings. It was a once-in-a-lifetime swing. I really can't explain it. It was crazy. I've been waiting for that moment for a long time."

The next batter, Andy Ibáñez, turned on a middle-in slider for a solo home run to left field. With the homer, Ibáñez continued his success against left-handed pitchers.

The back-to-back solo homers cut the Tigers' deficit to 5-4 after five innings, only for the Dodgers to respond with four runs across the next three innings against the three relievers.
