Perkins took a loss and a blown save, allowing two runs on three hits, walking one and striking out three in an inning of work as the Twins dropped a 6-4 decision to the Tigers on Friday night.

EDGE Analysis

Still working his way back from neck and back injuries, he was not technically working in a save situation - he entered the game in the seventh inning - but he gave up a home run for the second game in a row. Perkins is not expected to return to the closer's role this year, but he does need to show he can take the reins again next season.
