Bradley improved to 2-0, tossing 6-1-3-0 innings, allowing just one run on 6 hits, no walks, and 10 strikeouts. Ryan Jeffers came up big, with two RBI's to power the win. The bullpen locked it down after Bradley, four relievers combining for the rest, just in Topa nabbing his first save with the final two outs. In his three starts this season, all Twins victories, Bradley's given up only two runs, total over 16-2-3-innings, fanning 22. Skubal had a rare off-night, going just four and two-thirds innings, surrendering four runs on 8 hits and two walks. That's unusual for the back-to-back AL-Sai young winner, who over the last two years only failed to go five innings three times in 62 starts. Twins loaded bases early, but broke through in the fifth with walks.

1:02A single, Jeffers' two run double, and another double to chase Skubal. Tiger scratched back with a run in the seventh, and another in the ninth, but couldn't close the gap. Looking ahead, Minnesota sends Bayley Ober, zero in zero, with a 6.75 ERA, against Detroit's framber Valdez, one in zero, with a zero. And 7-5 mark on Wednesday, Twins keep rolling with that second straight W.
