Twins, Tigers Trade Wins in MLB Series with Key Home Runs

The Minnesota Twins continued their strong performance with a 9-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers, powered by Luke Keaschall who drove in three runs for the second consecutive game and has reached safely in each of his first 10 major league games. Joe Ryan contributed with five innings of one-run pitching as the Twins amassed 14 hits, including home runs from Matt Wallner and Kody Clemens. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers edged out the Los Angeles Angels 6-5 thanks to pinch-hitter Matt Vierling’s first home run of the season, a three-run shot in the eighth inning that broke a late-game deficit. Tigers starter Tarik Skubal struggled, failing to complete five innings for the first time since June 2024, but the bullpen secured the win with Kyle Finnegan earning his third straight save. The Twins’ Simeon Woods Richardson was placed on the injured list due to a stomach parasite but is recovering and preparing for a return. These games highlight the competitive nature of both the Twins and Tigers as they battle in the American League Central.
