Slop-fest: Shoddy late-inning defense by Tigers gift-wraps win for Twins

Detroit — The Tigers drew the third-largest crowd of the season to Comerica Park Saturday night, 34,205, and treated it to some pretty bad baseball.

The Minnesota Twins took advantage of a batch of shaky defensive plays late in the game, scoring six straight runs (only two were earned) to beat the Tigers 8-4.

"I don't like the way that game went at all," Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. "I'm glad we hung in there. We made them go to their big boy (closer Jhoan Duran) at the end and maybe that will help us tomorrow.
