Framber Valdez opens with his usual heavy-sink attack and commands early ground-ball outs, but the Minnesota lineup works his pitch count by the middle innings. A two-run fourth keyed by Royce Lewis’ opposite-field double snaps the left-hander’s scoreless streak. Bailey Ober mixes elevated four-seamers with his changeup; he concedes a solo shot to Dillon Dingler in the second but strands traffic twice, exiting after five with the game tied 1-1. The bullpens decide it. Detroit’s middle-relief bridge has wobbled all series, and a seventh-inning walk to Byron Buxton followed by Josh Bell’s switch-hit gapper plates two off Tyler Holton. Minnesota’s late crew—Funderburk, Sands and Jansen’s former teammate Taylor Rogers—covers the final nine outs, surrendering only Riley Greene’s RBI single in the eighth. Colt Keith stays hot (2-for-4) and keeps Detroit close, yet the Tigers again come up one swing short. Minnesota’s balanced order, superior pen depth and home-field edge extend the Twins’ head-to-head winning streak to six, final score 4-3.

Vestov prijenos iz Tigersa ide u 60-dnevni IL, odabran Troy Watson

Vest odlazi s ERA-om od 6.08 i WHIP-om od 1.43 u 27 reljefnih nastupa. Watsontov izbor ugovora je mehanika roštera vezana uz međunarodno zanimanje, a ne pojačanje bullpena Detroita temeljeno na performansama.

Relief bačač Tigresa Bailey Horn podlazi Tommy John operaciji

Horn će biti odsutan ostatak 2026 i većinu ili sve 2027, ali je učinak ograničen—bio je na listi ozlijeđenih cijelu godinu i nije bio dio aktivnog bullpena Detroita. Tigeri se oslanjaju na Kyle Finnega (ERA 2,13, 32 SO u 40 utakmica) i Jacoba Waguespačka (ERA 1,46, WHIP 0,65) kao reliefe.

Red Sox stječu Jahmai Jonesa od Tigersa

Jones stiže s prosjekom .137 i xwOBA .290 u 57 utakmica – značajno ispod nivoa zamjene. Devetomečna serija pobjeda Bostona skriva domaćin rekord 17-27, čineći ovo stjecanjem dubine koje je malo vjerojatno da će promijeniti igru za tim s postotkom pobjeda .489.

Rookie Tigers McGonigle Spreman za All-Star Nastup u Philadelphiji

McGonigle (.285 AVG, .366 xwOBA, 92 I) bio je primarni šorstop Detroita ove sezone. Njegov izbor za All-Star igru odražava čvrstu produkciju nováčka uprkos rezultatu Tigersa od 44-51 i četvrtoj poziciji u AL Central.

Tigri Zahtijevaju Andre Granilla iz Waitlist-a

Granillo stiže s ERA-om od 9.64 i 7.71 BB/9 u 9.1 IP, daleko ispod razine zamjene. Detrointov 40-članski roster je imao mjesta, ali ovaj potez dubine ima minimalan utjecaj na momčad s rekordom 44-50 s jačim opcijama unutarnje rotacije poput Meltona (1.82 ERA) i Skubala (3.06 ERA).

Minnesotina rotacija se sužava na Ryana (2,85 ERA), Bradleya (3,85 ERA) i Obera (4,33 ERA) kao tri glavne opcije; Matthews (4,57 ERA, 0,33 xwOBA) sada ulazi u redovnu rotacijsku dužnost za tim 49-50 koji je već -15 u diferencijalnoj razlici trčanja krenuvši prema prozoru borbe za playoff.

Twins Zahtijevaju Jacka Andersona iz Red Soxova Waiversa

Anderson je bacao 8,0 innings s ERA od 3,38 i xwOBA od 0,372 u tri reliefalnih nastupa za Boston—minimalni potencijal za MIN bullpen koji već dozvoljava 480 trčanja (treći najgori u AL Central).

Jeffers Se Vraća iz Prijeloma Hamatnog Kosti za Twins

Jeffers je trebao samo pet rehabigara da se vrati, stigavši s .389 xwOBA i .541 SLG u 37 igara—elitna ofenzivna produkcija koja je važna s obzirom da Twins sjede na 46-48 s razlikom od -17 pobjeda i oslanjaju se na bullpen gdje Rogers ima ERA od 5.61, a Orze sjedi na 5.66.

Blizanci Nabavljaju Tommyja Nanceja od Blue Jaysa

Nance (ERA 3.82, WHIP 1.27, K/9 9.27) dodaje dubinu bullpenu MIN-a, koji je bio nepouzdan—Rogers (ERA 5.61), Orze (ERA 5.66) i Gómez (ERA 3.59, xwOBA 0.347) su svi imali poteškoće. TOR prebacuje relifera srednje razine iz tima 44-49 dok MIN sjedida 46-48 i trebaju stabilnost u kasnim inningima.

Anthony Banda podvrgava se operaciji latisimusa na kraju sezone

Banda (ERA 4.46, 8.65 K/9 u 39 I) bio je primarni reljef visokog rizika Minnesote; njegova izguba prisiljava Twins da se više oslanjaju na Gómeza (ERA 3.59, 38 I), dok Rogers (ERA 5.61) nastavlja s lošom igrom u bullpenu koji je već na -14 u razlici trčanja.
