It was a come-from-ahead victory the Detroit Lions would have been proud of, not to mention the Detroit Tigers, Detroit withstood a late rally by Minnesota, winning by a field goal in a classic NFC North matchup.
Er, that is, the Tigers won by three runs in a 17-14 slugfest at Target Field in Minneapolis, about a mile away from the Minnesota Vikings' home field.
In all, the Tigers and Minnesota Twins combined for 31 runs on 31 hits and 16 walks — and that was just in Wednesday's series finale.
The Tigers (49-55) used an eight-run fourth inning — a product of three singles, two doubles, one triple, two walks and a pair of sacrifice flies — a three-run sixth inning and, finally, a four-run ninth inning to outlast the Twins.
