Minnesota Twins score 10 runs in sixth inning to defeat Detroit Tigers

The Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers 15-2 on Tuesday at Target Field behind a 10-run sixth inning. Minnesota sent 15 batters to the plate during the frame, recording eight hits including three-run home runs from Royce Lewis and Ryan Jeffers. The victory marks the 12th time in franchise history the team has reached double-digit runs in a single inning. With the win, the Twins secured their third consecutive victory to remain in contention for a wild-card spot. Elsewhere in the organization, Joe Ryan threw three innings in a rehab start for the Triple-A St. Paul Saints, while Emmanuel Rodriguez hit for the cycle in the same game. Ryan, who has been on the injured list since early August, may require one additional rehab appearance before returning to the major league roster.
