Replays ruin Detroit Tigers' series opener in 5-3 loss to Minnesota Twins

Special to Detroit Free Press

Tarik Skubal got off to a dazzling start on Thursday but a fielding mistake helped the Minnesota Twins pull out a 5-3 win at Target Field in Minneapolis against the Detroit Tigers.

Second baseman Willi Castro failed to keep his foot on the bag during a routine fielder’s choice in the seventh inning, and the Twins noticed. An out call was overturned on replay and helped Minnesota take the lead during a three-run inning.

Skubal set down the first 13 batters he faced.
