HUGE REPORT: Minnesota Twin Head Coach Could be FIRED Following Twins Season-Worst 5th Straight Loss

On Friday night, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Minnesota Twins 5-4 after rookie Wenceel Pérez produced a game-ending two-out single in the ninth inning.

Pérez had three hits, two RBIs, and two runs scored. Kerry Carpenter contributed four hits and two RBIs for the Tigers.

With the game tied at four in the ninth, Twins reliever Caleb Thielbar (0-1) recorded the first two outs before giving up a single to Parker Meadows. Thielbar then threw badly during a pickoff attempt, allowing Meadows to steal second. Mark Canha was purposely walked to set up Pérez, who scored the winning run with a crisp single to centre.
The Twins, who won the AL Central last year, have dropped 10 of their previous 13 games and are at 6-12, trailing just the division foe Chicago White Sox.

Detroit reliever Andrew Chaffin (2-0) retired all four batters he faced. Jason Foley pitched a scoreless ninth for his sixth save. The Tigers are 6-9 since beginning the season with five consecutive victories.

In six innings, Tigers starter Jack Flaherty allowed four runs, two of which were earned, on four hits and struck out 10. Minnesota’s Joe Ryan allowed four runs and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings.

Trevor Larnach, who was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, launched a two-run shot to right in the first inning, putting the Twins ahead 2-1.

The Tigers scored twice in the third inning because to their pace and quick hitting. Meadows drew a one-out walk and stole second, while Canha struck out. Meadows scored on Pérez’s single to the left. Pérez then stole second and scored on Carpenter’s shift-beating single to the empty shortstop hole.

TRAINERS’ ROOM
Tigers: 3B. Gio Urshela left the game with a tight right hamstring after running out a grounder in the second inning. He walked slowly back to the dugout with a trainer and was replaced by Matt Vierling.

The Tigers will start RHP Reese Olson (0-2, 3.86 ERA) on Saturday as the series resumes. Minnesota will send RHP Bailey Ober (0-1, 6.57) to the mound.Detroit scored another run in the sixth when Pérez tripled and scored on Carpenter’s third hit. However, the Twins knotted the game in the bottom half thanks to two Tigers outfield miscues.

After Edouard Julien walked, Ryan Jeffers hit a fly ball to short right that Pérez overran, putting runners on second and third with no outs. Flaherty almost got out of the jam by striking out Alex Kiriloff and Larnach. However, on a full-count pitch, Byron Buxton launched a high fly to left that carried to the warning track, where Carpenter dropped it for a two-run double.
