Yelich's historic 2nd cycle propels Crew
Adrianza's RBI single DETROIT -- The Twins successfully deployed the "opener" strategy and used a big inning at the plate to down the Tigers, 6-1, Monday night at Comerica Park.
Gabriel Moya got the official start, throwing a scoreless 20-pitch first inning. The only blemish was a double by Nicholas Castellanos. Rookie Kohl Stewart then took over in the second inning -- the Twins refer to his position as the "primary pitcher" -- and threw six innings of three-hit ball. The Twins are one of a few teams experimenting with the opener, and they will use one again for Wednesday's series finale in Detroit.
