MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Asked about the secret behind this year’s surprising success, the young Minnesota Twins have often praised their short memories following disappointing defeats.
With 20 games left in the season, the bad stuff is becoming harder to block out.
Curtis Granderson and Magglio Ordonez each hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers battered Minnesota’s struggling bullpen to rally for a 6-4 win Saturday.
‘‘They’ve been so good for so long. It’s the last thing you expect,’’ starter Scott Baker said. ‘‘Guys are fighting it right now. That’s OK. They’ll endure and they’ll persevere and they’ll get through it.’’
After relievers took six of the nine losses on their 14-game road trip that ended this week, the Twins watched yet another late lead vanish when manager Ron Gardenhire walked to the mound to replace Baker with one out and one on in the eighth.
