Frustrating Night for the Tigers
Well, Tigers fans, we finally faced off against the Minnesota Twins, and let's just say it wasn't exactly the outcome we were hoping for.
From the start, it looked like our bats were struggling to get going. Gleyber Torres led things off with a fly out, and while Kerry Carpenter gave us a glimmer of hope with a double, we couldn't capitalize as Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson were unable to convert.Torkelson Puts One On The Board
There was a brief moment of excitement in the 4th inning when Spencer Torkelson launched a homer to the left field, cutting the Twins' lead down to 2-1.
But unfortunately, that was the only significant offensive highlight for us today. Our hitters couldn't maintain the momentum, leaving us waiting for the right spark to get us back in the game.Twins Take Over Late
In the bottom of the 6th, the Twins managed to extend their lead, thanks largely to Edouard Julien's homer and a scattering of singles that pushed their advantage to 4-1. Despite our bullpen's best efforts to contain them, the Twins added the final blow in the 8th on a double by Matt Wallner, which sealed the game with a final score of 5-1 in favor of Minnesota.Better Days Ahead!
All in all, it was a tough matchup for our Tigers. It's always hard to see us fall short, but I have faith in our team rebounding soon. Let’s channel that Detroit spirit and give our boys the support they need to bounce back in the next game!
We'll get them next time!Scoreboard for Tigers @ Twins (April 13th, 2025)
