That was a TWO game series, and both of the games were snoozers.

In any case, it's nice to see the Twins get a little payback.

Even when the Tigers produce runs, the pitching still folds and gives
up too many runs. The Tigers had six runs in the first inning today, and it
still wasn't enough to make up for the Tigers pitching. Do you really
expect the Tigers to score 10+ runs a game? Because that seems to be
what it will take to compensate for the Tigers horrendous pitching this
season.

The Twins have scored 36 runs over five games with the Tigers this
season. The Twins. Ouch.
