    Tom Wilhelmsen already had allowed two hitters to reach base when Detroit's Delmon Young hit a deep fly to right-center field.

    The ball stayed in the air for a while before Ichiro Suzuki finally caught it.

    "Like two hours," Wilhelmsen joked. "I just looked up and saw Ichie make this grab and was like, 'Thank God he's out there.' "
