Tigers put trade deadline in the rearview by grinding out a win over Twins

Minneapolis — When the trade deadline expired and the dust finally settled on a steamy Tuesday night at Target Field, the Tigers got about trying to salvage something out of the rest of this disappointing season.

Good start.

Rookie Riley Greene, who was in a 0-for-11 skid and had struck out five of his previous seven at-bats, produced two hits, including a single in the seventh that broke a 3-3 tie and sent the Tigers to a 5-3 win over the Central Division-leading Twins.

In the fifth inning, Greene lined a double off the right-field chalk line off lefty reliever Jovani Moran that tied the game at 2.
