Recap

Player of the gameDillon DinglerDET4/5 2hr 4rbi

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is an avid fan of watching other games on TV when he’s not at the ballpark, so he had an instant reaction watching the Brewers and Athletics slug 11 home runs in Las Vegas on Monday night. “I wouldn’t wish that upon any manager, having to sort through that game,” Hinch said Tuesday afternoon. “Watching it go back and forth, I think I was suffering for both managers. … It felt like that game was never going to end.” Hours later, Hinch got a taste of it in one of the least likely ballparks for a homerfest. But on a hot and humid night at Comerica Park, the Tigers pulled out a slugfest with help from the same source who helped them through a similar game at Tropicana Field eight days ago. “Ultimately, it’s all about confidence,” said Dillon Dingler, whose second two-homer, four-hit, four-RBI game in just over a week lifted the Tigers to a 10-4 victory over the Twins for their sixth win in seven games. “Once you have a sliver of confidence, it can go a long way. You’ve just gotta ride the wave.” * Mize (5 IP, 1 ER) joins Skubal in nearing return to Tigers' rotation
