After a tough loss on Monday night in which the Tigers battled back to tie the game, only to lose it in the bottom of the ninth, Detroit meekly lost to the Twins in the second game of the series 2-0.
The pitching matchup featured Beau Brieske, making the sixth start of his major-league career, against Sonny Gray, the veteran in his tenth season, mostly with Oakland and Cincinnati.
Brieske’s last start, a week ago in Detroit against the Rays, did not go well. He struggled, giving up six runs in five innings — but he did pitch into the sixth, so that’s something, I suppose.
