MINNEAPOLIS — The last time the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins matched up at Target Field, the teams combined for 31 runs, 32 hits and 16 walks. Although the Tigers pulled off a 17-14 victory in the July 28 series finale, manager AJ Hinch expressed his displeasure about the schedule.
That's because the Tigers and Twins clashed 10 times over a three-week span, and the 31-run game took four hours, three minutes to complete. Two months later, the Tigers returned to Target Field on Tuesday for the beginning of a three-game series.
