	Twins Rally Past Tigers in 9-4 Victory at Comerica Park Dusty Schoenherr - Sports Tell Us Detroit News DETROIT - The Minnesota Twins bounced back from an early deficit to defeat the Detroit Tigers 9-4 on Wednesday night at Comerica Park, with standout rookie Luke Keaschall continuing his impressive start to his major league career. Keaschall drove in three runs for the second straight game, helping the Twins secure their second consecutive victory in the series. The rookie is now hitting .393 in his nine-game major league career, which was interrupted in April by a broken arm before he returned on Tuesday. The Twins jumped out to an early lead, taking a 2-0 advantage in the first inning when Alan Roden and Matt Wallner started with singles, and Keaschall drove them home with a two-out double. Minnesota extended their lead to 3-0 in the second inning before the Tigers mounted their comeback. Detroit answered with three unanswered runs to take a 4-3 lead. Spencer Torkelson launched his 24th home run of the season in the second inning, followed by Zach McKinstry's leadoff homer in the third and Kerry Carpenter's two-run shot later in the same frame. However, the Twins regained control and pulled away for the victory. Jack Flaherty took the loss for Detroit, surrendering six runs in 4⅔ innings pitched. A critical moment came in the eighth inning when the Tigers had runners on first and third with one out and their 3-4-5 hitters due up, but manager A.J. Hinch's decision to pinch-hit Jahmai Jones for Carpenter backfired when Jones grounded into an inning-ending double play. Keaschall's hot start has been historically significant for the Twins organization. He has reached base in his first nine career games, the second-longest streak in Twins history behind Glenn Williams, who reached base in his first 13 games in 2005. Both teams are scheduled to be off Thursday before beginning weekend home series on Friday. The Twins will host the Kansas City Royals while the Tigers welcome the Los Angeles Angels to Comerica Park.
