Eddie Rosario hit a tiebreaking drive in the eighth inning for Minnesota’s third homer of the day, helping the Twins top the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Sunday.
Max Kepler and Jake Cave also connected as Minnesota won for the fifth time in six games. The Twins bashed 13 homers while taking three of four from the Tigers.
Trevor Hildenberger (3-3) relieved Taylor Rogers in the eighth and got James McCann on a grounder with two on to end the inning. He worked a scoreless ninth despite pinch-hitter Victor Reyes’ leadoff single and a walk to Jose Iglesias.
The Twins have placed right-hander Ervin Santana on the 10-day disabled list and reinstated outfielder Robbie Grossman from the DL. The Twins also recalled right-hander Alan Busenitz from Triple-A Rochester before their 5-4 win against Detroit. Outfielder Johnny Field was sent down.
