Prior's Tigers 3 Chris's Twins 2This was a close game throughout and a pitchers duel but in the end Prior's Tigers came out on top. Chris's Twins started the game with a Juan Soto 2 run homer in the first inning but that would be the only offense they would get. In the bottom of the 3rd Mitch Garver hit a solo homer and in the bottom of the 6th he tied it with a RBI single. Brian Reynolds worked a bases loaded walk in the inning but the Tigers weren't able to get anymore runs in the inning.
