The Detroit Tigers pounded the Twins 11-0 yesterday. Anibal Sanchez gave up three hits before leaving in the seventh inning. Four relievers completed the Tigers’ second-straight shutout. Jose Iglesias had four hits, and Ian Kinsler drove in four runs. The Tigers wrap up that set against the Twins this afternoon. Shane Greene will start against Kyle Gibson. Hear the first pitch at 1:08 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3 WCCY.

The Wings traded for Cole last month. On March 24th, he suffered a spinal contusion. Doctors have told him not to play again this season, and that the injury could end his career.
