Tigers Roar Past Twins with a 12-Run Barrage at CenturyLink

The Detroit Tigers improved their record to 15-7 after a commanding performance against the Minnesota Twins, who now sit at 8-15 following the contest. The final score read 12-3 in favor of the visiting team, showcasing an impressive offensive display by Detroit.

From the outset, the Tigers established dominance with a two-hit, one-run opening inning that set the tone for what was to come. They followed up with an explosive second inning where they hammered four hits and brought in four runs. The relentless pressure continued through the fourth inning as they added another three runs on two hits. Although there was a brief lull in scoring during innings five through seven, Detroit's bats reignited in the ninth with three more runs to cap off their scoring for the day.

Detroit's hitters were relentless throughout, achieving a .378 batting average and an on-base percentage of .432. Their slugging percentage stood at an imposing .622, contributing to an overall OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 1.054 for the game. The team also displayed disciplined plate appearances drawing walks four times while striking out only five times across all innings.

The power hitting was evident as well; three extra-base hits included home runs that accounted for one every 12.333 at-bats and drove in twelve total RBIs for Detroit – showcasing their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities when they arose.

Defensively, Detroit was flawless with no errors recorded and maintaining a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0 throughout nine innings of play. Their pitchers also contributed significantly to this victory; starters posted an ERA (earned run average) of zero over nearly five innings pitched while striking out four batters and holding Minnesota's offense to just two hits.

The bullpen took over from there and despite allowing three earned runs over approximately four innings pitched – resulting in an ERA of 6.231 – they managed six strikeouts against eighteen batters faced (BF). This performance helped secure not only today's win but also maintained strong pitching statistics including a WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) standing at just above one (1).
