Manuel Margot and Carlos Correa homered as the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night in Minneapolis.

Royce Lewis went 1-for-2 with a two-run double for the Twins before exiting the game because of left groin tightness after the fifth inning. The team labeled his status as day-to-day.

Justyn-Henry Malloy and Ryan Kreidler homered for Detroit.

Twins right-hander Jorge Alcala (2-3) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings after replacing starter Simeon Woods Richardson, who gave up three runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings. Woods Richardson struck out four and walked two.

Jhoan Duran pitched a perfect ninth inning to collect his 13th save.

Tigers right-hander Will Vest (1-2) allowed one run in two-thirds of an inning. He followed starter Tarik Skubal, who gave up three runs on four hits in six innings. Skubal fanned seven and walked one.

In the opener of a three-game set, Minnesota won for the fifth time in six games while Detroit took its fifth defeat in six contests.
