We’ve seen the feeble 2019 Tigers rise up and play some better baseball lately. We’ve also seen some pretty weird games. Friday’s matchup with the Twins combined both elements in delightful fashion as the Tigers won convincingly by a score of 9-5.
Ol’ Dutch was on the mound for the men in black tonight, which is to say that it’s Players’ Weekend, and Drew VerHagen got the start for the Tigers. He was more recognizable in the early going, as Nelson Cruz doubled in a run in the first, and Miguel Sano mashed a laser of a home run to left center field in the second inning.
