Twins 8, Tigers 5: Squander in the Twin Cities

For four innings on Saturday night, the Tigers were looking good. However, the game came apart in the middle innings and the squander was strong as they dropped the second game of the series 8-5.

Starter Edwin Jackson allowed a Max Kepler solo shot in the first inning, but he settled in as his team fought back. Dawel Lugo cracked his second home run in the majors in the third, and Jake Rogers later scored in the inning on a Ronny Rodriguez sacrifice fly to take the lead.
