5 Hits for Tigers Altherr Thursday, August 16th, 2018 Aaron Altherr put on a hitting clinic today as the Detroit Tigers dumped the Minnesota Twins 10-7 at Target Field. The Detroit left fielder made Minnesota defenders earn their pay, lashing Minnesota pitching for 5 hits in 7 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Altherr said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Aaron Altherr grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 7th, struck out in the 8th, singled in the 10th and hit an RBI single in the 12th.
