The Minnesota Twins' offense erupted early and held off a late Detroit surge, securing a 6-3 victory Tuesday night at Comerica Park. The Twins' bats came alive against Tigers starter Chris Paddack, tagging him for four runs on six hits—including a pair of homers—in just four innings. Rookie sensation Luke Keaschall continued his torrid stretch, driving in three runs while going 2-for-4, while Kody Clemens (3-for-4) and Trevor Larnach (2-for-4, HR) provided crucial firepower. Minnesota's bullpen bent but didn't break, with Justin Topa slamming the door with a perfect ninth to preserve the win.

Detroit's late rally fell short despite clutch hits from Kerry Carpenter (2-for-4, RBI) and Jahmai Jones (2 RBI), as the Tigers stranded runners in scoring position. The loss drops Detroit deeper in the AL Central standings, while the Twins—sparked by their young core—keep their postseason hopes alive with another series-opening win.
