Detroit Tigers baseball is back on Sunday. 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 for another series victory on Sunday as they finish out a three-game set in Minnesota.
Following a sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, a series win would provide for a nice bounce back for a team with postseason aspirations.
After dropping Friday’s game, the Tigers are in a position to take the series thanks to a 5-4 win on Saturday.
Nicholas Castellanos and Justin Upton both crushed home runs, while John Hicks and Andrew Romine collected two hits apiece in the victory.
Mikie Mahtook (one-for-four, two walks and a run scored) also stood out for Detroit, who lost JaCoby Jones early in the game after he took a pitch to the face.
Later on, starter Matt Boyd was ejected for throwing behind the Twins’ Miguel Sano.
With Boyd exiting after just 4.1 innings, Blaine Hardy came in and threw 1.1 frames, allowing three hits and a run.
Hardy let Minnesota get on the board. However, the rest of Detroit’s set up relievers kept the Twins scoreless.
Shane Greene, Alex Wilson and Justin Wilson combined to toss 2.1 perfect innings.
The trio formed the bridge to Francisco Rodriguez, who was tagged for two hits and a run in the ninth, but held on for the save.
