DETROIT — Royce Lewis scored the tying run in the eighth inning and drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th as the Minnesota Twins rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Sunday and win the three-game series.
Minnesota trailed 3-2 going into the eighth, but Lewis walked with two outs, advanced to second on Ryan Jeffers' pinch-hit single and scored when third baseman Nick Maton threw away Willi Castro's grounder.
The Twins had two on with two out in the ninth and Alex Lange got Carlos Correa to hit a 108.7-mph line drive at left fielder Matt Vierling.
Lewis led off the 10th with a single off Tigers reliever Brendan White (1-1) that bounced off Maton's glove, allowing Correa to score the go-ahead run. After a sacrifice bunt, Castro's RBI single put the Twins up 5-3. Christian Vázquez's base hit made it 6-3.
Twins reliever Griffin Jax (4-6) got the win. Jhoan Duran pitched the 10th for his 11th save.
Tigers starter Michael Lorenzen allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk in five innings. He struck out four.
Twins starter Bailey Ober gave up three runs on five hits in six innings.
The Twins took an early lead on Donovan Solano's two-run home run in the top of the third, but Zach McKinstry tied it with a two-run double in the bottom of the inning before scoring on Kerry Carpenter's base hit.
Minnesota had runners on the corners with one out in the fifth, but Correa grounded into his second double play of the game.
