Slop-fest: Tigers can't overcome shoddy late-inning defense, gift-wrap win for Twins

Detroit — The Tigers drew the third largest crowd of the season to Comerica Park Saturday night, 34,205, and treated it to some pretty bad baseball.

The Minnesota Twins took advantage of a batch of shaky defensive plays late in the game, scoring six straight runs (only two were earned) to beat the Tigers 8-4.
