(MLB.com Minnesota Twins)

Willians Astudillo and Tyler Austin led the way for the Twins in a 9-3 victory over the Tigers on Thursday night at Target Field. Minnesota took the early lead behind a five-run third inning, before run-scoring hits from Astudillo and Austin provided support in the fifth. Tigers starter Francisco Liriano was forced from his final start of the season after just 2 2/3 innings due to lower back tightness.
