2015 Ushers In Twins 7th Straight Season Opening Loss

The Minnesota Twins (0-1) dropped their seventh straight season opening game today to the Detroit Tigers (1-0) at Comerica Park in the Motor City. Phil Hughes got the start for the Twins. David Price got the 4-0 win for the Tigers.

The Tigers scored more runs in the third off Phil Hughes (three) than they put up in 14 innings against him last season (two), thanks to J.D. Martinez's solo homer and Alex Avila's two-run shot.

Minnesota Twins' Joe Mauer broke up Price's complete-game hopes with an infield single up the middle after Brian Dozier's liner to left-center extended the game. Joe Nathan picked up the save.

Next up for the Twins; tomorrow afternoon at Detroit at Noon in game-2 of the series. Ricky Nolasco is set to start for the Twins.

Go Twins!
