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.

Detroit Tigers take series from Minnesota Twins with wild 17-14 win
It was a come-from-ahead victory the Detroit Lions would have been proud of, not to mention the Detroit Tigers. Detroit withstood a late rally by Minnesota, winning by a field goal in a classic NFC North matchup.
Er, that is, the Tigers won by three runs in a 17-14 slugfest at Target Field in Minneapolis, about a mile away from the Minnesota Vikings home field. In all, the Tigers and Minnesota Twins combined for 31 runs on 31 hits and 16 walks and that was just in Wednesday s series finale. An ugly win is better than any loss, Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. Obviously a long day, but a productive day with a series win in a place that we came into this series having not won this year. We needed every ounce of effort from our guys.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Playing to a score befitting an NFL matchup, the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins also were counterpunching like the best of boxers.
Detroit finally had enough for a knockout blow.
Jeimer Candelario and Eric Haase each drove in three runs and the Tigers, despite giving up seven homers and not hitting any, outlasted the Twins 17-14 Wednesday.
“Credit to them for continuing to fight when they’re down by 10 and then both teams decided to throw haymakers the rest of the day,” Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said.
The Tigers led 10-0 in the fourth in an MLB game with a score more likely suited for a game between the Lions and Vikings.
