It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
With the All-Star break, plus Mother Nature dumping a bunch of rain on Friday, the Tigers and Twins eventually got to play a game on a mostly sunny Saturday afternoon. A first-inning leadoff solo home run from Robbie Grossman was the only run in the game, as the Tigers won the first game of the doubleheader, 1-0.
Charlie Barnes made his major-league debut for the Twins. His season at AAA St. Paul has been solid so far; he’d made 11 starts with a 3.88 ERA and WHIP of 1.26. He would acquit himself well today, as you will see.
