Game Summary
Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers 3-2. The Twins won on the strength of two timely homers — Kevin McGonigle’s two-run shot in the fifth and Kody Clemens’ two-run homer in the sixth that provided the go-ahead runs — and a steady outing from starter Dean Kremer, who worked five innings while allowing two earned runs. Minnesota managed just five hits overall but got clutch production from McGonigle and Clemens, with catcher Ryan Jeffers adding a two-bagger and a walk. Detroit plated two on McGonigle’s homer but otherwise scuffled to push runs across; the Twins’ bullpen closed out the game scoreless, with Yoendrys Gómez recording the save.
