Odor, who already stole second base in the inning, bolted down the third-base line with two outs in the seventh and slid into home safely. However, home-plate umpire John Tumpane ruled that Tigers reliever Daniel Stumpf balked on the play.
The call still allowed Odor to score on the play, but negated the stolen base.
