Tigers complete doubleheader sweep of Twins on Schoop's mad dash

Detroit – Pretty electric night at the old ballpark Saturday.

The largest crowd since July 24, 2019, a lively 31,624, filled Comerica Park for the second game of a doubleheader against the Twins. The Tigers had eked out a 1-0 win in the first game and the teams battled into extra innings in the nightcap.

Miraculously, it ended in the most unlikely walk-off you can imagine.

The Tigers first tied the score in the eighth. With one out, free runner Derek Hill boldly stole third base on Twins lefty closer Taylor Rogers. He scored on a one-out single by Jonathan Schoop.
