Minneapolis — It was fun for a minute Saturday night.
The Tigers, playing with real verve, stealing runs and making diving catches, built a 4-1 lead against the Central Division-leading Minnesota Twins.
That all got blown up, though, in a five-run fifth inning and the Twins went on to beat the Tigers 8-5.
Starter Edwin Jackson gave up a home run to the first batter he faced, Max Kepler, then settled in striking out four in three scoreless innings.
