MIGUEL SANO

Moments after Javier Baez finally gave the Detroit Tigers something to cheer about Tuesday, the team gave the game right back to the Minnesota Twins with an embarrassing mess of mistakes on the final play.

In the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday night, Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase had no such advantage. Twins base runners (Trevor Larnach at second and Gio Urshela at first) had to hold up to make sure Grossman didn’t catch the ball. 0:09 Schoop’s relayRight as relay man Jonathan Schoop caught the ball, Larnach was slamming on the brakes as he rounded third base. Sano is only about 15 feet from second base when Haase has the ball in his possession for the first time. Urshela was literally standing on second base, but panicked when he saw Sano racing toward him and started breaking for third.

Yet, the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins are coming off an exciting game on Tuesday night. It looked to be deja vu for Minnesota, as Chicago went up 4-0 by the third inning. The victory marked the first time this season that the Twins had downed the White Sox, as Chicago had won the first four meetings this season. Lucas Giolito hit the rubber for the White Sox in the series finale. What: MLB BaseballWho: Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota TwinsWhen: Wednesday, May 19Time: 1:10 p.m.
