For the second consecutive day, the Twins and Tigers remain two games apart in the AL Central standings. Minnesota lost to the Royals, 4-1, while the Tigers lost 8-4 to the White Sox.Bless You Boys makes a startingly good point:
Twins and Tigers Both Lose on Sunday, Enter Potentially Decisive Series Two Games Apart
I suppose the Gods of Sports Justice weren’t going to allow both the Lions and the Tigers to win for Detroit on the same day. And really, the Lions beating the Redskins probably used up all the good juju in the bottle.
And now, things get interesting. These two teams kick off a four-game series in the Metrodome tomorrow. If the Twins can win three out of four, they’re tied for the division lead. But if the Tigers can manage even two wins, they’ll keep a two-game lead with three games left for each team to play. Bottom line: the Twins really, really need to take three out of four in this series.
This is a big week, people. Don’t sleep on SB Nation’s Twins blog, Twinkie Town, and our Tigers blog, Bless You Boys.
