For the second successive night, Jhonny Peralta was a triple away from the cycle.
He drove in four as the Tigers beat the Twins 8-1.
Six hits in ten ABs has Peralta at .322 heading into tomorrow's game. He started the season at okay, and has progressed from good to nothing short of amaze-ing.
Max Scherzer went seven and allowed four hits.His 11th win was also the Tigers 11th in a row over the Minnesotans.
A win tomorrow will equal their all-time record for consecutive wins over one team, set in 1908 against the St. Louis Browns, and equaled three years later against the pre-Yankee New York Highlanders.
One would guess a higher mark, considering all the very good Tigers teams, and the very bad, for many years, teams the Browns-Athletics-Senators fielded.
