When We Last Met The Detroit Tigers got out to a 6-0 lead only to watch their Ace, Max Scherzer, give up four runs before exiting and the bullpen allow the Minnesota Twins to tie the game in the bottom of the eighth. Ninth inning heroics from Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera, and a save from Joakim Soria gave the Tigers a 8-4 victory.

Starting Pitching

Rick Porcello(15-11, 3.23 ERA)  took a tough loss against James Shields and the Kansas City Royals in his last outing giving up only two runs in six and two thirds innings. Porcello is 8-6 with a 3.84 ERA against the Minnesota Twins in 119.2 innings pitched.
