DETROIT -- The disabled list gets longer by the day, and anything else that can go wrong for the Twins usually does.
Murphy's Law has been in full effect, even on Memorial Day.
The Twins placed Francisco Liriano on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of inflammation in his left shoulder and sent their leading hitter, Jason Kubel, back to the team hotel in a walking boot.
Kubel has a sprained left foot and will be re-evaluated Tuesday. He injured himself with a leap toward the right field wall in the sixth inning.
Two innings later, the Twins felt as if they got robbed by the umpires on the go-ahead hit by Alex Avila, and the Tigers held on for a 6-5 victory at Comerica Park.
"Frustrating, to say the least," said manager Ron Gardenhire, who drew his fourth ejection of the season, as his team fell to a major league-worst 17-35.
Liriano is the 11th Twin to land on the DL, and Kubel could make it 12, depending how he feels Tuesday.
"It felt funny when I jumped for the home run [by Victor Martinez]," Kubel said. "I felt stuff like pop, and when I landed, pain shot all over my foot."
