The finale of an abbreviated two-game weekend series between the Twins and Tigers in Detroit saw the Tigers drop a 9-1 decision on a muggy Sunday afternoon. Honestly, you could’ve had a better afternoon cleaning out your garage... which reminds me, I really need to clean out my garage.

His problem this year has been hard contact: league-average “hard hit” percentage is 38.
