Around SBN: This Should Encourage Juan Mata

Game 159 Overflow Thread

Not that we shouldn't have expected otherwise, but the Minnesota Twins are not going down easily.  If the Tigers want to have a celebration today, they'll have to work for it. 

And it looks like things are bumpy on the network right now.  I'm not sure what's going on.  Apologies for the difficulties in commenting over the past 15-20 minutes. 

Twins 4, Tigers 1 going to the bottom of the fourth inning.
