Detroit Tigers: Pitching can’t contain Minnesota’s bats

The Detroit Tigers played their second game of a three-game series in Minnesota against the Twins tonight, but they ended up losing despite having a 4-1 lead heading into the fifth inning. Minnesota had a huge five-run inning in the fifth and tacked on an additional two in the sixth to seal the deal 8-5.

Edwin Jackson started the game for Detroit, and only gave up one run on a solo home run through the first four innings. In the fifth, Minnesota got to him with a few hits leading to some runs and eventually a big three-run home run by Miguel Sano.
