Minnesota got a big blow from an unexpected source and the Detroit Tigers were dealt a big blow from an injury as the Twins won the opening game of a three game series 6-4.
Detroit led 2-1 after six innings before Ehire Adrianza’s first career grand slam rallied the Twins.
The Tigers made it 5-4 with two runs in the seventh. Miguel Sano gave the Twins a 6-4 lead with an RBI single in the eighth.
Ryan Pressly (1-1) got the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 14th save.
Miguel Cabrera ruptured his left biceps tendon in the third inning of a 6-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins and will have season-ending surgery later this week.
Cabrera swung awkwardly at Jake Odorizzi’s slider and immediately walked to the dugout with his arm limply at his side.
