Meanwhile, pitcher Tyler Duffey got to distinguish himself during the game, with MLB.com reporting that the rookie “threw six strong innings.”
There was a little bit of drama on the way to that victory, though – the Twins stagnated at two points for the majority of the game, spending two innings in a 2-2 tie with the Tigers.
It wasn’t until the seventh inning that Minnesota finally broke away and pulled into a lead that Detroit couldn’t catch up into.

The team plays the last of three games against the Tigers on Sunday.
