MINNEAPOLIS — Detroit Tigers left fielder Willi Castro fielded a single from Gio Urshela and lofted the ball to second baseman Jonathan Schoop on one hop. As this happened, Max Kepler raced around third base.
He was determined to score.
Shortstop Javier Báez directed Castro to throw the ball to Schoop, and by the time Schoop fired a bullet to catcher Tucker Barnhart, Kepler slid across the plate to score — all the way from first base — for the Minnesota Twins' first run.
The Tigers lost, 2-0, in the second of three games at Target Field, falling to 14-28 this season.
