The Detroit Tigers try to take the weekend series on Saturday afternoon from the Minnesota Twins who try to avoid losing six in a row.
Unfortunately for the Minnesota Twins, they are still stuck in the midst of a deep slide. The team almost got out of it too on Friday but lost 5-4 instead to the Detroit Tigers. The loss was Minnesota’s fifth in a row dating back to their first series in Detroit earlier in the week. The series opener started off well for the Twins taking the lead in the first inning with a two-run shot by Trevor Larnach. The Tigers took back the lead but the Twins tied the game right back in the bottom of the sixth on a two-RBI double from Byron Buxton. The game would stay tied until the ninth inning when rookie Wenceel Pérez got the go-ahead two-out RBI single to hand Minnesota its worst losing streak of the season.
