Minneapolis — There is fight in this dog. You cannot deny that. But the bullpen ran out of gas a few blocks from the finish line.
The Tigers endured their fourth straight frustrating loss to the Minnesota Twins Sunday, a rollicking 12-9, 10-inning loss at the Target Center.
Dead in the water after blowing a 4-0 lead for the second straight day, Jake Rogers thumped a first-pitch grand slam home run off Twins reliever Taylor Rogers in the top of the ninth to erase a three-run deficit and take a 9-8 lead into the bottom of the ninth.
