MINNEAPOLIS -- Jake Odorizzi struggled in his final start of the year, but the offense more than made up for the slack with Johnny Field recording his first multihomer game of his career, Jorge Polanco driving in three runs and Tyler Austin connecting on a two-run homer.
Despite Odorizzi surrendering four runs over three-plus innings, the offensive outburst helped the Twins to an 11-4 win over the Tigers on Wednesday at Target Field. Odorizzi had been pitching better with a 3.83 ERA over his last nine outings dating back to Aug.
