Tigers suffer 4-1 setback in opener against first-place Twins

Detroit – Fuses were short on this damp Friday but the Tigers' offensive wick never got lit.

Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda hadn’t pitched in a big-league game since April 26, sidelined with a triceps injury. And when he walked Zach McKinstry and gave up a single to Spencer Torkelson in the bottom of the first inning, it looked like there might still be some rust on the 35-year-old.
