Detroit Tigers Minor League Report

Triple-A: Toledo Mud Hens (7-10)

This game was defined in one, crazy inning. The game was tied at one heading into the seventh when Columbus scored on a double and a pair of home runs to go up 5 to 1. In the bottom of the seventh, the Mud Hens would strike with a Juan Centero double to score Zack Short to make it 5-2 and after a Derek Hill single, Toledo would pull within two runs. Then, this happens.

Daniel Pinero would hit a two-run home run to end the scoring in the 7th. On the day, he went 2-for-3 and drove in three. Drew Hutchinson tossed five innings allowing one run on four hits and striking out nine.
