AP | 28 Julio 2021 | 18:53 No, no fue un partido de fútbol americano entre los Lions y los Vikings, aunque el marcador lo sugiera. Fue una victoria de los Tigres en el béisbol sobre los Mellizos. El dominicano Jeimer Candelario y Eric Haase remolcaron tres carreras por cabeza y Detroit, pese a permitir siete jonrones y no batear uno solo, se impuso el miércoles 17-14 a Minnesota. Detroit ganaba por 10-0 en la cuarta entrada de un duelo con tantas carreras que no pareció ser de béisbol. Los Tigres anotaron ocho veces en la parte alta del cuarto capítulo. Minnesota logró seis anotaciones en la parte baja, coronada por un grand slam de Ryan Jeffers.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Jeimer Candelario and Eric Haase each drove in three runs and the Detroit Tigers, despite giving up seven homers and not hitting any, outlasted the Minnesota Twins 17-14. Detroit led 10-0 in the fourth in an MLB game that wound with a score more fitting for an NFL matchup between the Lions and Vikings. After the Tigers scored eight times in the top of the fourth, Minnesota got six runs in the bottom half, highlighted by Ryan Jeffers’ grand slam. Down 13-6, the Twins scored six more in the eighth on Miguel Sanó’s second homer of the game and drives by Max Kepler, Brent Rooker and Jeffers. Haase’s three-run double in the ninth gave the Tigers another cushion. Jorge Polanco hit a two-run homer in the Twins ninth.
