Tonight’s game was pretty evenly paced, which isn’t an ideal thing to say when it’s the Tigers facing off against another mid-performing AL Central team, but these two clubs looked pretty evenly matched through the night. As an overview, Reese Olson was surprising, as he managed to cruise through most of the Twins’ lineup and make it look easy, but the Twins found weaknesses in the later innings and took advantage.
Let’s break it all down.
Olson started off with a 1-2-3 inning, and in the bottom half of the first the Tigers had only one baserunner in the form of a Kerry Carpenter single.
