MINNESOTA (68-55) @ DETROIT (72-52) game 2
STARTING PITCHERS
12Y (9-2 2.37) 9 (4-2 2.90)
Once again, the Bengals jumped out to an early lead and again it’s culprit was Zolio Versalles who committed another error that led to a run. And, Twins killer Al Kaline did his thing as they rallied to a 6-1 Kwai. Johnny Podres tried to give it back in the 9th but in the end, the Twins came up short dropping not only the doubleheader but have lost 4 straight.
