Bullpen day for Detroit Tigers blows up in final innings of 9-4 loss to Twins

Special to Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Tigers wish the All-Star break had started a few days earlier.

They squandered a four-run lead on Saturday in a 9-4 loss to the Twins, their third straight. Joe Jimenez gave up a go-ahead, three-run homer to Jorge Polanco in the seventh.

They’ll try to salvage the finale of the four-game series on Sunday before getting four days off.

Niko Goodrum and Zack Short hit back-to-back homers in the second inning.
