Pablo Lopez threw seven strong innings and Royce Lewis got a hit in his return to action.
With one out in the top of the first inning, Byron Buxton took a first-pitch slider from Tigers starter Keider Montero and crushed it into the bullpen in left-center. Trevor Larnach followed that by lacing a 3-1 fastball over the wall in right. Just like that, back-to-back home runs had the Twins out to an early 2-0 lead in Detroit.
Lopez settled in after the Baez home run, finishing with a quality line of 7 innings pitched, 6 hits, 1 walk, 2 earned runs, and 7 strikeouts. He ended his day by escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the top of the seventh. Lopez got Gio Urshela to ground into a force out, then induced pop outs from Baez and Wenceel Perez. Josh Staumont and Caleb Thielbar each threw an inning out of the Twins' bullpen to seal the victory.
