Detroit Tigers squander lead twice, lose 5-4 to Minnesota Twins in 10th

Detroit Tigers closer Bryan Garcia took the ball in the bottom of the 10th with plans of giving his team a victory over the Minnesota Twins.

The Twins had other plans. Singles from Eddie Rosario and Max Kepler combined to score two runs off Garcia, a new closer in the Tigers' slew of attempts to find the right piece.

Despite recent offensive woes, the Tigers (22-31) battled back, but tfell in the 10th, 5-4, on Tuesday night at Target Field.

The Tigers are five games back of the Toronto Blue Jays for the AL's eight and final spot in the postseason.
