Tigers break shutout in ninth, lose 9-3 to division-leading Twins in opener

Detroit – There’s only one thing you can do with something this stinky.

Flush it.

The Central Division-leading Twins battered lefty starter Joey Wentz literally from the first pitch of the game and put the Tigers to rout, 9-3, Monday night at Comerica Park.

Donovan Solano hit Wentz’s first pitch for a double and when the dust settled two batters into the third inning, the Twins had accumulated eight runs and 10 hits, including three doubles and two three-run home runs.

Ryan Jeffers and Carlos Correa smacked the homers. Correa also had an RBI double.
