The Minnesota Twins started strong against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, taking an early lead with a run in the 1st inning.

Fifth Inning


By the 5th inning, both teams had added to their scores. The Twinkies managed another run thanks to Trevor Larnach's efforts; he previously boasted an impressive .333 average and 1 home run. However, it was during this inning that the Motor City Kitties began to claw back into contention with 2 runs of their own.


Sixth Inning


The tide turned significantly in favor of the Tigs during the 6th inning when they scored 3 runs off five hits. This surge was pivotal and shifted momentum away from Minnesota despite Matt Wallner's consistent performance; Wallner had maintained a .500 average with one home run in prior games.


Seventh Inning


In response, Minnesota added another run in the top half of this inning but struggled to contain Detroit’s offense as they scored again. The bullpen faced challenges maintaining control as evidenced by Noah Davis’s previous high ERA of 27.0 and WHIP of 6.0.


Final Innings


Despite valiant efforts from players like Edouard Julien who held a .333 batting average previously, Minnesota couldn't bridge Detroit's lead by game's end which concluded at 9 innings with final scores reading: Tigers - Twins: (6-3).
