Twins starting pitcher Vance Worley endured another rough outing Tuesday night against Detroit.
Worley allowed three home runs, including a two-run shot by Miguel Cabrera in the first and a two-run homer by Prince Fielder in the fifth. The right-hander was charged with six runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 6-1 loss. He struck out one and walked one in 76 pitches, 53 for strikes.
"Today was the best I've felt all season. I made good pitches. They just crushed them," Worley said. "I made the exact pitch that I wanted to Cabrera. I even went back and watched the video. That pitch is a popup, and he drove it out of the park the other way. There's nothing you can do about that."
Worley has allowed at least five runs in three of his six starts. and has a 7.22 ERA.
The 25-year-old will try to bounce back Monday night at Boston.
