Minneapolis – The Tigers have come from behind to win baseball games 11 times this season. But there was no comeback coming on Monday.
The Twins scored four times in the third inning and beat the Tigers 6-2, winning four out of five games this holiday weekend at Target Field.
It's getting a little dire now for the Tigers. With 21 games left, they will have to string some wins soon to get back in legitimate contention for a wild card spot. At 18-21, the Twins (26-17), Yankees (21-19) and Orioles (19-21) were ahead of them, and they were in danger of falling behind the Mariners (18-22).
