Dillon Dingler error unravels everything in Tigers' 15-2 loss to Twins
The Detroit Tigers keep finding ways to lose and to start unraveling. Tuesday's 15-2 loss was no different.
The Detroit Tigers faced an ugly 15-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at Target Field. The collapse began with a critical throwing error by Dillon Dingler, the team's Gold Glove-winning catcher, who flubbed a crucial play at third base allowing two runs to score. This mistake set the stage for a 6-run sixth inning where Royce Lewis and Ryan Jeffers both homered, propelling the Twins to a 10-run lead.
Despite a valiant effort from starting pitcher Troy Melton, who allowed only three hits over 5 1/3 innings and had a career-best 2.07 ERA in his first 20 starts, the Tigers could not prevent the rout. This marked the Tigers' seventh straight loss to Minnesota, their longest skid against the Twins since 2020-2021, and their sixth-straight series loss, their longest winless streak since 2020-2021.
