Tigers Fall in Sixth as Clemens Stings Old Team | Minnesota Twins News

Detroit’s hopes dimmed again as the Tigers fell to the Twins 3-2, another divisional loss that stung even more after briefly taking the lead. Rookie Kevin McGonigle lit up the night with his 16th homer — a two-run blast in the sixth — but it wasn’t enough. Former Tiger Kody Clemens answered with a go-ahead two-run shot, his fourth homer against his old team this season. Drew Anderson took the loss, pitching solidly through five innings before the damage was done. The offense struggled mightily, generating just three hits and two walks beyond McGonigle’s heroics. The bullpen showed grit, with Beau Briske, Brant Hurter, and rookie Yilber Diaz holding things together — but no one could deliver in the ninth. Another winnable game lost, and the Tigers’ offense remains their biggest concern. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
