Whiteout

No, that's not a reference to Ro White.

Even when the Tigers appear to catch a break against Minnesota, it fails to work out.

Twins relievers Juan Rincon, J.C. Romero and Joe Nathan entered Detroit with a 3-1 record and 0.79 ERA this year. But the group had combined for 23 appearances in Minny's first 16 games, so manager Ron Gardenhire was going to attempt to limit their use this weekend.

Detroit took advantage Friday night by tagging Terry Mulholland with a loss in 10 innings. That snapped a nine-game losing streak against Minny. (The Tigers are 20-59 against the Twins since '01.)

So what happens next? The games Saturday and Sunday get SNOWED out. Unbelievable.
