It was a tough night for the Detroit Tigers offense as they took on the first-place Minnesota Twins in the first game of the final series of the season at Comerica Park. Spencer Turnbull pitched his second straight strong outing, but late runs from the Twins turned the tide in favor of Minnesota. After scoring first, the Tigers’ bats weren’t able to build any momentum and they lost 4-2.
The game started on a high note for the Tigers, getting a run off Twins starter Jake Odorizzi in the first inning. Dawel Lugo smacked a one-out double to center field, and then Harold Castro hit a bunt single to move him over to third.
