Things did not go as planned in game one of this day-night doubleheader. Rony Garcia was greeted with a barrage of hits early in his start, and the Tigers lost 8-2. However, in the nightcap, they got a little payback, jumping on the Twins early and hanging on despite yet another pitcher injury, this time to starter Joey Wentz, who was making just his second major league start.
Twins 8, Tigers 2
Garcia racked up plenty of strikeouts in this outing, but seemingly everything that wasn’t a strikeout went for a hit over the first three innings.
