The Tigers got in a deep hole early in this one, but fought their way back to a deadlock before losing it in the bottom of the ninth 5-4 in Minnesota.
The Tigers had their chance to open the game on a good note and get their rookie starter some breathing room, but it didn’t happen. After Robbie Grossman and Jonathan Schoop flew out, Miguel Cabrera singled back through the box and Javier Báez doubled to left. Unfortunately, Harold Castro lined out to left to end the threat.
There was a fair amount of hard contact, but as has so often been the case this season, nothing to show for it.
