DETROIT (AP) — Mark Canha’s two-run double highlighted a four-run eighth inning for the Detroit Tigers as they rallied to beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Sunday.
The victory was the 800th in the majors for Tigers manager A.J. Hinch.
“(Andrew Chafin) just told me I’m old, so I guess that’s what 800 brings,” Hinch joked after the game. “This was an awesome way to get it. Our guys just kept battling.”
Detroit trailed 3-0 after seven innings, but took the lead against Caleb Thielbar and Griffin Jax.
Javier Báez, who was batting .119 without an extra-base hit, launched a solo homer off Thielbar to make it 3-1 in the eighth.
“I finally got one, but I’m still working,” said Báez, who has been booed regularly by Tigers fans. “It is frustrating, because I’ve been trying to fix this for two years. I just have to slow everything down.”
Thielbar, making his season debut, allowed two groundball singles to put runners at the corners with one out. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli brought in Jax (1-1), but Canha’s chopper down the third-base line eluded Kyle Farmer for a two-run double.
