Questionable Call Helps Tigers Rally Past Twins
The Detroit Tigers got the victory and Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire got ejected.
Brennan Boesch hit a go-ahead double shortly after a disputed play that wound up with Gardenhire getting tossed, and the Tigers rallied for six runs in the sixth inning to beat the Twins 11-6 on Wednesday night
"We've had a few comebacks, and that's been pretty important for us," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Our bullpen has done a great job for us, but we can't keep expecting to do this. We've got to get our starters deeper into games."
The Twins took an early 6-1 lead, and still led by a run in the sixth. With one out and a runner on first, Johnny Damon hit a deep drive and center fielder Denard Span appeared to make a running catch.
