Porcello took care of the Twins in order in the top of the first, despite leaving a few fastball up and Joe Mauer hitting a rocket right to second baseman Polanco. We can only assume this was a warning shot for what’s to come later.
Tigers Threaten, Come Up Short: 0-0 After 1 Inning
In the Tigers’ half of the inning, Curtis Granderson led off with a double down the right field line. Clete Thomas got Granderson over to third with two outs, but Aubrey Huff — hitting a blazing .254 this month — was unable to plate the run, grounding out weakly to second base for the third out.
