Detroit — If you follow the Tigers and missed this one, good call.
Not that the weather wasn't right at Comerica Park. It was a dandy 71 degrees at first pitch.
But then the Tigers messed up by playing the Twins, which brought an 8-2 defeat and nothing approximating a Tigers heartbeat until they scrambled for a couple of runs in the ninth, thanks to two of their four total hits.
The Tigers lost all three games to Minnesota, which bothered Ron Gardenhire for reasons other than that he formerly managed the Twins.
"We just had a bad day out there," Gardenhire said, and here he was talking about pretty much everything: hitting, pitching, and any other baseball-related skill.
