Virtual Detroit Tigers swept by Twins; who is team's best breakout candidate?

With the Detroit Tigers out of action, the Free Press is getting its baseball fix by simulating the Tigers’ 2020 season on "MLB The Show 20" on Playstation 4.

If the Virtual Tigers finish the 2020 season one win out of the postseason, they will have Sunday afternoon's game circled.

Struggling still after a bullpen blowup against the Twins on Friday night, the Virtual Tigers were swept, 5-0, on Sunday afternoon at Target Field.

The Tigers, though, were unable to take their final at-bats: The game was called after the video replay booth froze while reviewing an outstanding catch by Victor Reyes in the bottom of the eighth inning.
