MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Matt Wallner hit a grand slam to cap a five-run sixth inning and the Minnesota Twins overshadowed another milestone homer by Miguel Cabrera in a 5-3 win against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wallner\u2019s slam \u2014 his first in the majors and the ninth homer in 38 games for the rookie \u2014 erased the early deficit provided by Cabrera. Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the second for his 509th career home run, equaling former teammate Gary Sheffield for 26th on the all-time list with just his second homer of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is two home runs behind Mel Ott for 25th all-time and his 1,867 RBIs are one behind Ott for a tie for 11th in history. Cabrera passed Robin Yount (3,142) on the all-time hit list in a game against the Twins last week in Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dylan Floro (4-5) earned his first win with Minnesota after being acquired from Miami before the trade deadline with a scoreless inning of relief. Jhoan Duran allowed a solo homer to Spencer Torkelson but recorded his 22nd save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reliever Will Vest allowed Wallner\u2019s grand slam, one of two hits and two runs surrendered, after coming on in relief of Jos\u00e9 Cisnero. Cisnero (2-3) relieved starter Alex Faedo and gave up a walk and two hits to the first three batters of the sixth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faedo held the Twins to just one hit through five scoreless innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
