The Detroit Tigers’ late comeback fell short, as they dropped a 4-3 decision to the Minnesota Twins last night. Detroit took an early lead on a James McCann RBI single in the second inning. Minnesota tied it in the third, then took the lead with two in the fifth of Francisco Liriano, who took the loss. Reliever Zach McAllister gave up the final run in the sixth. Niko Gooodrum’s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth closed the gap, but the Tigers couldn’t complete the comeback.

Milwaukee starter Wade Miley gave up two runs over six innings. Corbin Burnes got the win in relief, and Josh Hader earned a two-inning save.
