Tigers Roar Past Twins in Dominant 7-0 Victory
16 Aug
Summary
- Charlie Morton's strong 6-inning outing
- Dillon Dingler's 3 RBIs in Tigers' 5-run 1st inning
- Tigers lead AL Central after decisive win
In a dominant performance on August 11th, 2025, the Detroit Tigers routed the Minnesota Twins 7-0 at Target Field. Veteran right-hander Charlie Morton was the star of the night, giving up just 2 hits and striking out 5 over 6 scoreless innings.
The Tigers wasted no time jumping on Twins starter Pierson Ohl, scoring 5 runs in the opening frame. Dillon Dingler delivered the big blow with a 2-run single, and an error by Twins second baseman Luke Keaschall led to 4 unearned runs. Dingler later added an RBI double in the 3rd inning, while Javier Báez also drove in a pair of runs for the Tigers.
The lopsided victory keeps the Tigers firmly in first place in the AL Central standings. It was a bounce-back outing for the 41-year-old Morton, who had struggled in his previous start against the Angels. Meanwhile, Ohl lasted just 2.1 innings, surrendering 7 runs (3 earned) in the loss.
With the series-opening win, the Tigers have now won 3 straight games and continue to assert their dominance in the division race. They'll look to build on this momentum as they send Casey Mize to the mound on Saturday, seeking their fourth consecutive victory.
