The Minnesota Twins took another step toward an AL Central title with a 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Minnesota’s magic number to clinch the division is two over Cleveland.
Willians Astudillo and Eddie Rosario fueled a four-run seventh inning, and the Minnesota Twins dodged an injury scare from starter Jake Odorizzi.
Odorizzi pitched two-hit ball through six innings but was pulled with a tight left hamstring after warming up for the seventh. The right-hander hadn’t allowed a hit since Harold Castro’s bunt single in the first. He says it was just a cramp and expects to be fine.
Taylor Rogers pitched a perfect ninth for his 29th save.
