Daniel Norris turned in his longest outing since 2017 and, backed by Nicholas Castellanos’ three hits, led the Tigers to a 5-3 victory over the Twins on Sunday in the finale of a four-game set.
Castellanos, who hit a two-run homer, was a triple shy of the cycle. He and Brandon Dixon both homered early to back Norris (2-1), who went 6 1/3 innings and gave up two runs on six hits.
Ehire Adrianza homered and had two hits for the Twins, but designated hitter Nelson Cruz exited early with a left wrist injury. Cruz’s final plate appearance came in the sixth inning and he was removed for a pinch hitter in the seventh.
Byron Buxton had a season-high three hits for Minnesota, including an RBI single in the seventh.
