'He hung in there': Twins bash Tigers prospect Gregory Soto in debut, split doubleheader

Minneapolis — They don’t always end up as Hollywood scripts.

Tigers left-handed pitching prospect Gregory Soto is going to have better days, but his big-league debut was a bit of a mess.

Called up from Double-A Erie to fill the 26th roster spot for the second game of the doubleheader Saturday night, Soto was hit and hit hard as the Twins earned a split with a 7-3 win. The Tigers had won the opener 5-3.
