After a pair of wins to open the four-game weekend series against the Twins in Minnesota, the Detroit Tigers looked to extend their winning ways with... what’s this... an acutal starting pitcher, you say? Not a bullpen day?! Well, how about that.
Anyway, armed with this newfangled “starting pitcher” idea, the Tigers forgot how to score runs and wasted a nice outing from their starter, Joey Wentz, losing 2-0; each team got a grand total of three hits in the contest.
Wentz took the mound for his twelfth start; his only non-start was against Arizona last weekend, in which he took the mound from the second through the sixth innings after an opener pitched the first.
