The Tigers opened with a modest start but fell behind when Kody Clemens hit his 24th homer of the season and Ryan Jeffers added a triple. Starting pitcher Troy Melton struggled, allowing early runs before being pulled for Kyle Finnegan, who also surrendered hits and runs.
The Twins' lineup, featuring contributions from Max Clark, Ryan Jeffers, and a three-run homer by Finnegan, kept the pressure on, while Detroit's defense committed several errors.
