Twins, Tigers Both Win Saturday Night, Still Separated by Two

Detroit overcame a 5-0 fifth-inning deficit Saturday to ultimately win by the score of 12 to 5. Bless You Boys commends the Tigers’ ability to mount a comeback on the road:

But had we seen anything like this? Down 5-0 after four innings, on the road in hostile territory? Against a pitcher who hadn’t allowed more than three runs in his last six starts? With an offense that hadn’t scored a run in its last 14 innings?

Meanwhile, the Twins beat the Royals in Kansas City, 11-6. Denard Span, who knocked in six runs, is Twinkie Town’s hero of the moment:

Every time Denard Span comes to bat in the near future, all Kansas City Royals fans should avert their eyes for the greatness that his His Royal Span-ness.

[…] Denard is showing absolutely no ill signs of being hit in the back of the head. Which is nice. Three singles and a triple on the night have him a 4-for-5 evening, and the six runs batted in have accounted for 9% of his season totals in that category.

These two teams each play one more game before their four-game series, which begins Monday.
