Detroit Tigers beat Minnesota Twins 10-4 as Dillon Dingler hits two home runs

Dillon Dingler delivered two homers and four RBIs to help the Detroit Tigers defeat the Minnesota Twins 10-4. The Tigers' offense was fueled by Kerry Carpenter’s two‑run shot, Riley Greene’s solo homer, and Gleyber Torres’ two‑run single. Both teams combined for eight home runs in the rain‑delayed game, which started after a 1 hour 51‑minute weather pause.

Twins left‑fielder Byron Buxton, returning from a shoulder contusion, opened the game with his 19th homer of the season. Twins starters Taj Bradley (5‑3) allowed five runs, while Tigers starter Troy Melton (3‑0) gave up four runs over five innings. The win marked Detroit’s sixth victory in seven games.

The Tigers will next start left‑hander Framber Valdez, and the Twins have yet to name their upcoming starter.
