Found it in the post game stories.
Brian Dozier bunted Boyd?s second pitch of the game toward third baseman Candelario, who fielded it on a hop and then fired the ball past first baseman Cabrera. Dozier circled the bases and scored as the ball rolled all the way into the right-field corner.
It was scored a single and three-base error on Candelario ? his fourth error in the last nine games.

The Minnesota Twins scored eight runs off four relievers in the eighth inning Saturday, rallying to beat the Detroit Tigers 10-4 at Comerica Park.
The miserable eighth inning spoiled another strong outing by Tigers starter Matthew Boyd, who allowed just one unearned run through 6 2/3 innings and left with the lead.
The inning got off to an unfortunate start when Tigers reliever Alex Wilson was hit in the right shin by a Joe Mauer line drive. He immediately fell to the ground in pain and limped off the field with the help of head athletic trainer Kevin Rand.
(Wilson was quickly diagnosed with a fractured fibia in his lower right leg, ending his season).
The Twins piled up singles against relievers Daniel Stumpf and Joe Jimemez before Zack Granite hit a three-run home run -- the first of his career -- against Blaine Hardy to finish the scoring.
The Tigers have now allowed 10 or more runs eight times since Sept. 1.
They're 4-19 this month and have been outscored 164-87.
NOTABLE
Efren Navarro, who replaced an injured Miguel Cabrera in the second inning, hit only the second home run of his career to give the Tigers a 3-1 lead in the sixth.
Navarro's only other career home run came three years ago when he played for the Los Angeles Angels. The opposing pitcher? Justin Verlander.
Navarro added another solo home run in the ninth inning off Twins rookie Gabriel Moya.
Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario appeared to bang his knee against the dugout fencing while chasing a flyball in the eighth inning. He completed the inning but was later removed for Dixon Machado. The team said he had a right knee contusion and is day-to-day.
Earlier, manager Brad Ausmus announced that outfielder Mikie Mahtook’s season was also over with a Grade 2 groin strain.
Miguel Cabrera left the game in the first inning with a recurrence of lower back stiffness.
Cabrera will undergo an MRI test on his lower back.
In the long eighth inning, third baseman Jeimer Candelario banged his knee chasing a foul pop-up in front of the Tigers’ dugout. He was diagnosed with a right knee bruise and replaced in the ninth.
Daniel Stumpf came in and gave up three straight singles — to Jorge Polanco, Eddie Rosario and Eduardo Escobar — none hard-hit and all after he got two strikes on the hitters. Two runs were in and the Twins were just heating up.
Stumpf was relieved by Joe Jimenez who was ... ineffective. He hit Byron Buxton to load the bases. With one out, Robbie Grossman rapped a two-run single and what had been a good-sized crowd began filing out.
The eight-run eighth inning was capped by a three-run home run by Zack Granite, a left-handed hitter, off left-hander Blaine Hardy. It was the first big-league home run for Granite, who had entered the game earlier in the inning as a pinch-runner for Mauer.
It was the eighth time the Tigers have allowed 10 or more runs this month.
Boyd was unfazed — much like he was on Sunday after Tim Anderson of the White Sox broke up his no-no with two outs in the ninth. He allowed just one other hit through the sixth inning, striking out six.
He was commanding the inside quadrant of the strike zone with his fastball and off-speed pitches. Evidence of how off-balance the Twins hitters were: He got 11 swinging strikes and 17 called strikes (eight with his fastball).
Roars
Matt Boyd: Another promising start. Pray that he can carry this into 2018.
Efren Navarro: A two home run night is an insta-roar.
JaCoby Jones (fielder): Was all over the park running down balls. Mr. Jones is as legit a center fielder as the Tigers have had since early Austin Jackson.
Hisses
Daniel Stumpf and Joe Jimenez: Pitched scared, and paid for it.
JaCoby Jones (batter): Oh god, please hit JaCoby, I need that glove in my life.

I thought his defense was the ready part of him.
And where was the 2B. Not enough time to backup 1B?

I didn't watch it, so don't know where Kinsler was or where the ball went.

Webvideo from September 22; Chris Ilitch: We are committed to owning Tigers.
We are in for a long stretch of shitty Tigers baseball.
He trusts Avila and the staff means he doesn't know anything about owning/running this team.
Chris Ilitch sounds like he is giving a canned speech of gobbily gook and PR.
What do you think?

I think when he endorses Avila to the world it shows that he's a doofus.

I think that we might not see championship-worthy contender(s) until the mid-20s, if not longer. When the late Sparky Anderson took over as Tigers Manager in '79, he said that the youngsters would win a WS in 5 years...the '18 and '19 Tigers aren't gonna resemble the '78 and '79 Tigers.
