Bullpen botch job: Tigers fail to close deal as Twins sweep doubleheader

Minneapolis — The Twins went out of their way to make Game 2 of the doubleheader Friday feel like a home game for the Tigers — which, technically, it was, even though it was played at Target Field.

This was the makeup of the game that was rained out last Friday at Comerica Park and the Twins used the Tigers’ players’ graphics on the big scoreboard during pregame introductions and played their walk-up songs.

They drew the line, though, at giving them any advantages on the field.

After the Twins rallied to tie the game 2-2, the game went into extra innings, which this year starts with a runner at second base.
