Minnesota Twins

Final (12): Tigers 11, #MNTwins 6

DanHayesMLB

They didn't lose ground, but that was a rough loss for the #MNTwins, who fall 11-6 in 12 innings. Had multiple chances late to win and couldn't get it done.

DanHayesMLB

Javy Báez dumps one into right and Royce Lewis can't come up with it despite an all-out effort. Falls for a two-out, bases-loaded double. Detroit now leads #MNTwins 11-6 in the 12th.
