That was the Tigers mantra before the game. They wanted no let-up after taking two of three from the Royals over the weekend – especially not against the Twins, who they’ve beaten six straight times this season.
Make that seven straight times.
Justin Upton’s 200th career home run with two outs in the second inning, a high missile that hugged the foul pole in left field, was all the offense the Tigers produced or needed Monday, beating the Twins 1-0.
