Marquette, MI – Matt Boyd allowed only one hit in six inning of work while catcher James McCann added a two run bomb to give the Tigers a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. The Tigers have now pulled even with the Twins with the lead in the central division with a 5-2 record. The Tigers and Twins will play game two of their three game series today at 1:10pm. The
Tigers will send rookie of the year Michael Fulmer to the mound to face Kyle Gibson. Fulmer shutout the Red Sox last week in which the Tigers won 6-5.
The Detroit Pistons season will conclude tonight when they take on the Orlando Magic. Both teams had high hopes going into the 2016-2017 season and both played below expectations. The off-season will be fast approaching and the Pistons have a lot of work to do. Tonight’s game will be in Orlando and game time is at 8 pm.
