The Minnesota Twins completed a four-game sweep over the Detroit Tigers with a narrow 3-1 victory on Thursday afternoon in Minneapolis. The decisive moment came in the bottom of the eighth inning when Brooks Lee hit a two-run single to secure the win.
Josh Bell was instrumental for the Twins, hitting a solo home run and contributing three hits in four at-bats. The Tigers' offense struggled, managing only one run, driven in by Gleyber Torres via a sacrifice fly. Minnesota's pitching staff performed well, with starter Mick Abel delivering six scoreless innings and reliever Garrett Acton earning his first career win.
Adding to the Tigers' difficult day, outfielder Parker Meadows had to be carted off the field following a scary collision with teammate Riley Greene in the eighth inning while attempting to make a catch. The Tigers have now lost five games in a row.
