Rick Porcello surrendered three runs and a whopping 12 hits in 3 2/3 innings Thursday against the Twins.
The Twins had two runners thrown out at home in the second. Porcello wasn’t getting anyone out himself, with Twins hitters batting .571 in 21 at-bats against him. Porcello has given the Tigers decent outings for the most part this year, but with his modest strikeout rate, he just isn’t the best fit in front of their porous defense.
