The Detroit Tigers played the role of spoilers in Minnesota, with Tyler Collins, Jefrey Marte, and J.D. Martinez each driving in a pair of runs, giving the Tigers a 7- 4 victory over the Twins in 12 innings. A Twins win would have pulled them within one half game of the Houston Astros for the final playoff spot, but the Tigers ruined the party. The win gives the Tigers a series win as well as clinching the season series, with a ten games to six lead for the year. The teams have a three game series remaining in Detroit.
Tigers spoil Twins' party, take series with 7- 4 twelve inning victory
