DETROIT -- Matt Boyd reached out his glove and snagged Joe Mauers liner to the mound.Looking pleased with himself, the Detroit left-hander flipped the ball from his glove to his bare hand and then threw the ball into left field in a failed attempt to start the toss around the infield.I think I made myself look really athletic, and then about five seconds later made myself look like a dunce out there, Boyd said.Boyd could joke about that blooper because it basically was his only misstep of the night. He allowed three hits in six outstanding innings, and the Tigers beat Minnesota 1-0 on Monday to hand the last-place Twins another loss just hours after they announced the firing of general manager Terry Ryan.Justin Upton homered in the second to back Boyd (1-2), who struck out seven with one walk and provided a welcome boost to a rotation that has shown little depth of late.Three relievers finished for the Tigers, with Francisco Rodriguez pitching a hitless ninth for his 26th save in 28 chances.Minnesota announced Ryans firing before the game, then lost in relatively punchless fashion. Ricky Nolasco (4-8) allowed one run and three hits in six innings.Weve been struggling offensively coming out of the break, and that didnt change, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. We had a lot of trouble with Boyds offspeed pitches.Uptons homer was his 200th.Its definitely cool to reach that milestone, Upton said. I hope thats not the last milestone I reach.Although the Tigers left the bases loaded in the third, Boyd and the bullpen made their one run stand up. Detroit is without injured right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, and the rotation has looked thin behind Justin Verlander and rookie Michael Fulmer.Boyd, however, has been impressive in his last two starts. He allowed one run in five innings against Toronto in his final outing before the All-Star break.Monday was the longest scoreless start of the 25-year-old left-handers career. The Tigers acquired him in last years trade that sent David Price to Toronto.Boyds biggest jam was in the fourth, when he got Eddie Rosario on a grounder for the third out with two on. The Twins didnt have another baserunner until Miguel Sanos one-out walk in the ninth.HONOREDThe Tigers gave tickets to some Dallas police officers who were in town for the funeral of Michael Krol, a Michigan native who was among the five officers killed earlier this month by a gunman in Dallas. The officers were shown in the crowd on the big screen at the start of the fifth inning, and fans gave them a standing ovation. There was a brief pause before the game restarted, and a couple umpires joined in the clapping.I got goosebumps. That was probably one of the coolest things Ive seen, Tigers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. The whole city kind of stood up and rallied and let those guys know that we do support them. Those guys lay their lives on the line.NO KsNolasco did not strike out a batter, the first time thats happened to him since he lasted only two innings in a start July 6, 2014, against the New York Yankees.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: LHP Daniel Norris (right oblique strain) allowed a run and five hits in four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo. Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said hes not sure if Norris will need another rehab start or not. ... RHP Warwick Saupold (right groin strain) was reinstated from the DL and optioned to Toledo.UP NEXTTwins: LHP Tommy Milone (2-2) takes the mound Tuesday night against Detroit. He allowed two runs in five innings in a win over Texas on July 10.Tigers: RHP Anibal Sanchez (5-10) tries again to turn his miserable season around.

The information should not have been accepted. It should have been rejected and officials at Wake Forest should have been alerted to the inappropriate action taken by Mr. Elrod. ...This is an unusual situation. When someone receives information they should not be given, it is important that they do the right thing. Even in a competitive atmosphere, the right and ethical thing would have been for us to not accept the information. I regret very much that this took place.Wake Forest had concluded that Elrod, a former Demon Deacons player and assistant coach, provided or attempted to provide confidential game preparations to opponents several times beginning in 2014. He has since been fired.?Louisville and Virginia Tech have acknowledged receiving information from Elrod.

Among the communication were a few plays that were sent and then shared with our defensive staff. None of the special plays were run during the course of the game. Our defense regularly prepares for similar formations every week in their normal game plan.Any other information that may have been discussed was nothing that our staff had not already seen while studying Wake Forest in their preparations for the game and the material was not given any further attention.Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said Friday morning on ESPNs Mike & Mike that his team had to adjust its game plan for the Cardinals after discovering the aforementioned sheets. He said that players were upset because they felt they had wasted their effort practicing opponent-specific sets that were discarded once Wake Forest realized the plan had been compromised.Wake Forest will face Temple in the Dec. 27 Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman.Louisville will face LSU in the Dec. 31 Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl.
