Detroit Tigers baseball is back on Friday. The team continues the 2017 regular season against the Minnesota Twins on the road. Here’s what you need to know to watch the game.
Detroit Tigers players will look to rebound in Minnesota after being swept by the Rays in Tampa Bay.
The Tigers came away from a series filled with strange plays without a win.
In the last game of the three-game set, Detroit got on the board early thanks to a home run from Ian Kinsler.
However, that was all the offense the team could muster, as the Rays piled on eight runs en route to the win.
Daniel Norris got the start for the Tigers, allowing eight hits, five runs (four earned) and two walks in 4.2 frames.
Warwick Saupold came on in relief and finished out the game, throwing 3.1 innings while surrendering three hits, three runs and a walk. All three of the hits allowed by the right-hander left the yard.
The duo were supported by an offense that featured plenty of reserve players.
Justin Upton and Jose Iglesias didn’t participate due to injury, while Victor Martinez got the day off.
That left a lineup consisting of Kinsler, Tyler Collins, Miguel Cabrera, Nicholas Castellanos, Alex Avila, James McCann, Andrew Romine, JaCoby Jones and Dixon Machado.
Overall, the Tigers managed just five hits and a pair of walks.
