Slugfest at the 5th Inning 🔥

As a passionate Detroit Tigers fan, it was another rollercoaster ride for us. The game started at a snail's pace with both teams scoreless through four innings. The Tigers had a tough time getting on base early, with Wenceel Perez, Riley Greene, and Mark Canha all getting out in quick succession in the 1st inning. The Twins were equally non-threatening with our pitchers keeping them at bay.

Tigers Roar Back in the 5th 🐯

The action finally sparked up in the 5th inning when Justyn-Henry Malloy smashed a 402-foot solo homer to left, putting us on the scoreboard. Moments later, Akil Baddoo reached on an infield single, and following a pickoff error, Ryan Kreidler came through with a clutch 395-foot homer to left, sending Baddoo home for a two-run shot. We were roaring indeed, flipping the score in our favor, 3-2! ✊🔥

Twins Fight Back 😔

Unfortunately, our joy was short-lived as the Twins immediately responded. Manuel Margot tied the game with a towering 406-foot homer in the bottom of the 5th. The 7th inning saw a critical lapse with Byron Buxton hitting a ground-rule double, advancing to third on a wild pitch, and eventually scoring, giving the Twins a 4-3 lead. This scenario dampened our spirits as Will Vest and then Beau Brieske couldn’t hold off the Twins.

Sealing the Deal 😔

In the bottom of the 8th, Carlos Correa delivered another crushing blow with a 421-foot solo homer, boosting the Twins' lead to 5-3. Our boys tried valiantly in the top of the 9th but fell short. Keith, Malloy, and Baddoo were unable to get on base, and the game concluded with a disappointing 5-3 loss. 😢

While this game stings, we have to keep faith in our Tigers. We'll bounce back stronger! 🐯💪
