Minneapolis – That’s what taking care of business looks like.
The Tigers completed an almost imperative three-game sweep of the cellar-dwelling Twins with an 8-5 win Thursday afternoon.
They won the three games by a combined score of 25-12 (seven of the Twins runs came after the Tigers led by six runs or more). It was their fourth straight win overall and the fourth straight game in which they scored eight or more runs (35 total). The Tigers hadn’t done the latter since 2011.
Catcher James McCann, who has been on a hitting tear since the end of July, was the second Tiger in two nights to flirt with a cycle.
