MLB
Jordan Zimmermann gave up seven runs, but the Detroit Tigers still managed to claim a 10-8 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Detroit got off to a big lead, scoring eight runs in the first inning. Ian Kinsler homered on the first pitch of the game, and Jose Iglesias plated three with a bases-loaded double. The Twins came back, and tied the contest on J.D. Martinez’ error in the top of the seventh. Nick Castellanos put Detroit back on top with a homer in the bottom of the inning, and Martinez hit one out in the eighth to provide the final margin of victory. Manager Brad Ausmus was thrown out of the game in the fourth inning while protesting a called third strike on Castellanos. Ausmus was so irritated that he threw his sweatshirt on home plate.
