Minneapolis — It was supposed to be a duel between two of the best young arms in the Central Division, and it very quickly devolved into a home run hitting contest.
When the smoke cleared from all the burnt wood Thursday night, the Twins-Tigers had combined for seven home runs and 14 balls hit with exit velocities of 103 mph or harder — and Tigers came out on top.
They avoided a sweep at Target Field scoring four runs in the final two innings to beat the Twins, 10-7.
"The wins have been hard to come by this week," manager AJ Hinch said.
