Jones was hitting .135 in his last 10 games, and had struck out in his first two at-bats before hitting Lance Lynn’s 3-1 fastball for his fifth home run.<\/p>\n
Detroit won the last two games of the series to improve to 23-17 at Comerica Park. The Tigers, who play their next eight games on the road, are 10-20 away from home.<\/p>\n
Michael Fulmer (3-5) improved to 5-0 in five career starts against the Twins. He pitched seven innings, allowing one run on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts in ending a three-start winless streak.<\/p>\n
Joe Jimenez pitched the eighth and Shane Greene threw the ninth for his 17th save.<\/p>\n
Lance Lynn (4-5) took a shutout into the seventh but ended up allowing three runs on five hits and a walk. He struck out nine in 6 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
The Twins took a first-inning lead for the second day in a row. With one out, Eddie Rosario doubled and scored on Eduardo Escobar’s base hit.<\/p>\n
After that, the game belonged to Fulmer and Lynn. After six innings, the Twins still led 1-0 with four hits to Detroit’s three.<\/p>\n
John Hicks, though, led off the bottom of the seventh with his first career triple, a line drive to the right-centerfield gap. Niko Goodrum followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game. With two out, Lynn hit Jose Iglesias, and Jones hit Lynn’s 114th and final pitch over the wall.<\/p>\n
The homer was the first Lynn had allowed in his last six starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
