Detroit — The culture of pressure that AJ Hinch has tried to instill in the Tigers this spring has paid plenty of dividends already this season.
But in the sixth inning Wednesday, it may have crossed the line from aggressive to reckless.
Trailing by a run, the Tigers had two runners thrown out at the plate — costly considering they ended up losing the game and the series to the Minnesota Twins, 3-2, in front of a crowd of 7,568 at Comerica Park.
"You play the game to try to score," Hinch said afterward.
