The News' Tony Paul gives his quick takes on the Tigers' 4-2 loss to the Twins on Tuesday: One thing I loved This has proven a surprisingly challenging ask early in 2026. As Ben Verlander wrote on X Tuesday night , the 4-7 Tigers are, indeed, a "tough watch right now. " You can blame the offense, which has stranded at least eight runners on base in more than half the games this season.
(They left 12 men on base, and struck out 14 times. ) So, at least for tonight, we pivot a bit: On this night, kudos to the Twins' game-day staff. They hit a home run during their between-innings, celebrity-lookalike segment at Target Field on Tuesday night, pointing out something that had never occurred to me: Yes, Tigers radio play-by-play man Dan Dickerson does look a lot like former (again, at least for now) football coach Pete Carroll.
Dickerson sure seemed ready and eager for his close-up, so we're guessing he's heard this before. Look who made it on "Celebrity Lookalike" on the Target Field videoboard tonight. Well played, Twins.
