Baseball is a weird sport. You can go to the ballpark and see something completely new every night.

What you wouldn't expect to see is Victor Martinez getting cozy with an opposing player at first base.

The Detroit Tigers opened up a huge lead on the Houston Astros early in Friday's game, scoring seven runs in the second inning to take a 9-2 lead. Martinez contributed by hitting a one-out single off of the right field wall.

After getting to first base safely, Martinez and Houston first baseman Marwin Gonzalez showed each other some love. Gonzalez gave V-Mart a love tap on the helmet with his glove. Martinez responded with a tender kiss on the back of Gonzalez's neck.

 

Remember, guys: the camera catches everything.
