Minneapolis — They don’t always end up as Hollywood scripts.
Tigers left-handed pitching prospect Gregory Soto is going to have better days, but his big-league debut was a bit of a mess.
Called up from Double-A Erie to fill the 26th roster spot for the second game of the doubleheader Saturday night, Soto was hit and hit hard as the Twins earned a split with a 7-3 win. The Tigers had won the opener 5-3.
The Twins banged out nine hits and scored seven runs off Soto in four-plus innings.
