Jonathan Schoop powers Detroit Tigers over Twins 4-0 in Game 2; another pitcher gets hurt

Jonathan Schoop provided the offense, Joey Wentz and the bullpen provided the pitching, Kody Clemens provided some intrigue and the Tigers provided the fans with some cheers.

Schoop hit a two-run home run in the first, followed it with a two-out, two-run single in the second and the pitching staff did the rest as the Detroit Tigers (19-30) beat the Twins 4-0 in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader.

The Tigers have won five of its past seven games.

Detroit lost Game 1 of the doubleheader, 8-2, and afterwards manager A.J. Hinch lamented falling behind early — the Tigers are 6-25 when the opposition scores first and 13-5 when they score first on the season.
