Game 119 @ MIN

It was a typical Tigers blowout, full of lots of extra-base hitting, dominant pitching, and little substitutions. However, Twins pitching didn't take to liking the mockery that they were made of.

Andre Ethier was hit by a pitch in the 8th, and the Tigers were no fan of that, as he was nearly hit in the head.

Jamey Carroll was hit in the bottom of that inning, and Ryan Doumit was hit in the back.

The umpiring crew had enough, and they ejected Matt Guerrier. The ejection was on cue, since Daniel Schlereth was already warming up.

The Tigers swept the Twins here, and they have a day off tomorrow.
