Victor Martinez will play his last game as a Tiger tonight. He will be with the team for the final 6 games on the road, but wanted to have his last game and at bats in front of the Tigers fans at Comerica park.

Victor Martinez ends his MLB career with an infield single. Ronny Rodriguez on to pinch-run.
Victor Martinez beats out an infield single in the first inning for his 2,153rd and final career hit.

The game is stopped as he's removed for a pinch-runner. Even the Royals are applauding, as Salvador Perez and Alcides come out of the dugout to greet him.
