My Detroit Tigers are back to their losing ways. After ending their 6 game losing streak, Detroit lost the series finale against Cleveland and tonight they got pounded by the Minnesota Twins 12-2. The packed house at Comerica Park watched in dismay as Francisco Liriano reeled off 13 strikeouts and Jason Kubel drove in 5 runs to lead Minnesota to victory. Things are really tightening up in the AL Central division.

TEAM RISP- Twins: 9 for 17 Tigers: 3 for 12
Francisco Liriano reeled off a total of 13 strikeouts and Jason Kubel jacked
one out of the ballyard and had 5 RBI at Comerica Park as the Minnesota Twins
belted the Detroit Tigers by the count of 12 to 2.
The Detroit fans didn't appreciate the big day Kubel had. He doubled in the
2nd inning, lost the ball over the fence for three runs in the 6th inning and
singled bringing home two baserunners in the 7th inning. Minnesota out-hit
Detroit for the game, 15 hits to 8.
Liriano(11-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 8 innings and allowing 2
runs. Zach Miner(3-6) absorbed the loss. 'I had my good stuff tonight.'
Liriano said. 'As the game went along I started to get the feeling that I was
going to strike out a bunch of hitters.'
