MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Willians Astudillo had a career-high four RBIs, Tyler Austin added three and the Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3 on Thursday night.
Astudillo, playing in his 26th big league game, capped Minnesota's five-run third inning when his two-out single drove in a pair of runs to give the Twins the lead. He also added a two-run double in the fifth.
Minnesota took two of three against Detroit in the final series between the teams this year. The Twins won the season series 12-7.
Tigers starter Francisco Liriano (5-12) left after just 2 1/3 innings due to lower back tightness.
