 Minnesota has gone 27-13 in its last 40 games against Detroit, though the teams have alternated wins and losses in each of the last seven contests. After failing to homer in their first game against the Tigers this season, the Twins have hit multiple homers in six of eight games since.

 The Twins have scored 14 and zero runs in their last two games, respectively. Minnesota has scored 14+ runs six times this season, tied with the Nationals for most in MLB. Minnesota has been shut out three times this season -- only the Yankees (none) and A's (twice) have been shut out fewer times.

 The Tigers have scored four runs or fewer in nine consecutive games -- the only longer streaks in the AL this season have been by themselves (10 in May) and the Rays (10 in July). The Giants scored four or fewer in 11 straight games in May, the longest streak in MLB this season.

 Nelson Cruz is slashing .450/.500/1.100 in August. No player has finished a calendar month (min. 40 PA) with an OPS of at least 1.600 since Barry Bonds (August 2004).

 Travis Demeritte, who debuted August 2, leads the Tigers with 10 runs scored in August. Through 20 career games he has 10 runs, seven extra-base hits and four stolen bases -- the last players to meet these marks through 20 career games were Fernando Tatis Jr (2019) and Carlos Correa (2015).

 Miguel Cabrera hit .304 prior to the All-Star break and has hit .223 since. Jorge Polanco hit .312 before the break and has hit .257 since. Among qualifying AL infielders, these are the largest and third-largest declines in batting average (Elvis Andrus is second).

Minnesota, which leads the Cleveland Indians by 2 1/2 games, is just 10-14 at home since the break and has won just one of the seven series at Target Field, a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Aug. 2-4.

Twins seek rare home series win vs. Tigers

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  The first-place Minnesota Twins didn't get many hits off Detroit starter Matthew Boyd, but they certainly made them count.
C.J. Cron and Jonathan Schoop homered, Martin Perez pitched six solid innings and Minnesota beat the last-place Detroit Tigers 7-4 on Sunday to win two of three in the weekend series.
