The Detroit Tigers erupted for eight runs on Saturday night, outslugging the Minnesota Twins 8-5 in a back-and-forth battle at Target Field. The Tigers' offense came alive early, with Colt Keith setting the tone by drawing two walks and scoring a run, while Jahmai Jones delivered a pair of clutch RBI singles in his two at-bats. But it was Trey Sweeney who provided the spark, crossing the plate three times and driving in a run to pace Detroit's relentless attack. Casey Mize gutted through 6.1 innings, striking out 10 batters despite allowing four runs, while the bullpen—led by Will Vest's scoreless 1.1 frames—held on late to secure the victory.

The Twins fought back behind Brooks Lee's three RBIs and Luke Keaschall's two-hit night, but their pitching faltered in key moments. Starter Zebby Matthews labored through four innings, issuing four walks, while Brooks Kriske surrendered three critical runs in the sixth. With the win, Detroit snaps a recent skid and hands Minnesota its second straight loss, tightening the race in the AL Central as both teams look ahead to Sunday's series finale.
