Twins 6, Tigers 3 (F/10): Quiet bats and defensive mistakes cost the series

With the series on the line, the Tigers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. The offense went cold against Bailey Ober after a brief outburst in the third, and a key defensive mistake from Nick Maton cost the Tigers late as the Twins scratched out an unearned run to tie the game late and then won in ten innings.

Things started off at a pretty snappy pace. Michael Lorenzen allowed a Edouard Julien leadoff single to start the game. Donovan Solano lined out, and Carlos Correa pulled a grounder to third where Nick Maton started an inning ending double play.
