It was cold this afternoon at Comerica Park. Cold and gray and the Tigers, they played accordingly.
They didn’t pitch, they rarely hit and the end result was an 11-5 thrashing by the Twins.
Jordan Zimmermann was plagued by a 31-pitch third inning, reverting back to spring training form, and was knocked out after failing to pitch five innings.
He walked a career-high five batters and put the Tigers behind the 8-ball early. When Anibal Sanchez came in, it only got worse.
Sanchez was tagged for six runs on seven hits, allowing two home runs.
