DETROIT — \u2014\u00a0Dillon Dingler\u00a0had two homers among his four hits and drove in four runs Tuesday night, leading the\u00a0Detroit Tigers\u00a0to a 10-4 win over the\u00a0Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dingler had a solo homer in the first and a three-run shot in the sixth to raise his team-leading total to 16. He added a double and single and scored three runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kerry Carpenter\u00a0hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the fifth as the teams combined for eight homers in the game.\u00a0Riley Greene\u00a0homered and drove in two runs as the Tigers won for the sixth time in seven games.\u00a0Gleyber Torres\u00a0drove in two runs with a single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tigers starter\u00a0Troy Melton\u00a0(3-0) allowed eight hits and four runs in five innings, and struck out five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh Bell\u00a0hit his 200th career homer for the Twins.\u00a0Byron Buxton\u00a0opened the game with his team-high 19th homer on the first pitch after missing the Twins’ previous two games after injuring his right shoulder while crashing into the wall against Kansas City on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brooks Lee\u00a0and\u00a0Kody Clemens\u00a0each added solo homers for Minnesota, which has lost five of its last six. Twins starter\u00a0Taj Bradley\u00a0(5-3) gave up seven hits and five runs in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The start of the game was delayed an hour and 51 minutes by inclement weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lee and Clemens homered on consecutive pitches to give Minnesota a 4-3 lead in the fifth. The Tigers regained the lead in the bottom half on Carpenter’s two-run shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dingler’s two-run shot off\u00a0Taylor Rogers\u00a0with two out extended the Tigers’ lead to 8-4 in the sixth. Torres’ two-run single in the seventh helped Detroit reach double digits in runs for the fourth time this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
