Tigers Edge Twins in Thriller | Detroit Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers pulled off a gritty 5-4 win over the Minnesota Twins, fueled by Riley Greene’s three-hit explosion—including a two-run homer—and Kevin McGonigle’s solo shot. Troy Melton anchored the start, lasting five and two-thirds innings, while the bullpen locked down the Twins with just one hit allowed in the final innings. Kenley Jansen closed it out for his 18th save of the season, bringing his career total to 494. Joe Ryan returned from injury but lasted only four innings, and Trevor Larnach’s two RBIs weren’t enough as Minnesota falls 4.5 games behind playoff contention with 18 games left. The game featured multiple lead changes, including a dramatic sixth-inning rally by the Twins that brought them within one, but Detroit’s defense held strong to seal the victory.
