Big crowd sees Tigers walk off Twins for doubleheader sweep

Detroit – Pretty electric night at the old ballpark Saturday. Maybe the most electric night in a few years.

"Let me start by saying thanks to the fans for coming out and creating such a great night," Tigers manager AJ Hinch said after the Tigers completed a doubleheader sweep of the Twins with a walk-off, 5-4 win in the bottom of the eighth inning.

The Tigers had invited a large throng of former players, several generations deep, and they were scattered about in suites wearing their jerseys. The Jumbotron kept showing Phil Coke inciting the crowd from the balcony throughout the late rally.
