Detroit Tigers stumped by Minnesota Twins' trade deadline pickups in 4-1 loss

MINNEAPOLIS — Once again, the Detroit Tigers' offense didn't do enough.

The Minnesota Twins, on the other hand, weren't consistently productive but still did enough in the batter's box — thanks to new catcher Sandy Leon's two-RBI performance — to hand the Tigers a 4-1 loss in Wednesday's series finale at Target Field.

The Tigers (42-64) dropped two of three games in the series.

Detroit's offense, averaging a league-worst 3.21 runs per game, finished with four hits (all singles), one walk and 14 strikeouts. Utility player Harold Castro was responsible for three hits, his ninth game this season with that many hits.
