DETROIT TIGERS AT MINNESOTA TWINS
GAME ID: 2155 - FRIDAY, AUGUST 17TH, 2018 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Detroit Tigers (59-63) 1 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 4 10 1
Minnesota Twins (56-67) 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 0 X 5 7 1
Twins Subdue Detroit, 5-4
Detroit pitcher Jacob deGrom gave the Twins all they could handle, but in the end, Minnesota left Target Field with a 5-4 win. deGrom allowed 2 earned runs on 3 hits over 6 innings. Alex Meyer earned his 2nd save in 4 chances. The third-place Twins are now 56-67, the Tigers 59-63.

Had Whit Merrifield not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Merrifield hit a 2-run home run. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Twins.

"We found a way to get it done," Merrifield said.
