Last Sunday, Anibal Sanchez suffered his 10th loss of the year when he was beaten by the Toronto Blue Jays on the road. Monday night would be no different as the Tigers walked away with a 1-0 win behind a strong start from Matt Boyd and a Justin Upton home run.
The Twins continue their quest for their first victory over the Tigers this year on Monday, when the AL Central rivals reconvene in Detroit for the opener of their three-game series. Upton also had a single on the night, picking up two of the Tigers’ three hits. Francisco Rodriguez finished up to notch his 26th save.
Upton’s homer was his 200th career home run.
The Twins are 11-23 in their last 34 game threes of a series, and 4-11 in their last 15 Wednesday games. However, after scoring two and loading the bases with one out, the Tigers couldn’t complete the comeback – a need that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

The Twins scratched out a run in the third. “Once you get on the field, you just have to play”. A seven-game trip to face the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets after this homestand starts a stretch in which 29 of the Rockies’ 35 games will be against teams with winning records. I felt good (in the ninth), felt like all the other innings.
Sale threw eight shutout innings and the White Sox bats finally came alive, but it wasn’t enough on a night when Seattle scored four runs with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. His two-RBI single after a seven-pitch at-bat against Bruce Rondon opened the floodgates in the seventh inning. The Tigers are getting odds of -145 to win, while the Twins have a money line of +135 on the road.
