Live Tigers blog: Twins get 1st hit in 6th

Matt Boyd gave up his first hit in the top of the sixth inning, a bloop single from Robbie Grossman with two outs. It was Grossman's second time on base, after walking to lead off the game.

But Boyd left Grossman on first, again, when he got out of the inning.

With 97 pitches and right-hander Shane Greene warming up, Boyd's day may be done.

But, the Tigers have a 2-0 lead going to the bottom of the sixth.

McCann goes deep in 5th

James McCann's 2-run home run with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead over the Twins.
