Detroit erupted early and never looked back, routing Minnesota 7-0 as Charlie Morton carved six scoreless frames in his third start with the Tigers. Five first-inning runs, sparked by Colt Keith’s run-scoring swing and a misplayed ball by Luke Keaschall, set the tone. Dillon Dingler delivered a two-run single and Javier Báez added an RBI double as Detroit capitalized on a shaky Twins starter, then Dingler’s RBI double in the third and Báez’s sac fly closed the scoring.

Detroit’s lineup piled up hits from Gleyber Torres, Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene and McKinstry, with Dingler totaling two doubles and three RBIs. Dingler, Báez and Torres supplied the big hits, while Morton, despite command struggles (three walks, one hit-by-pitch), avoided trouble and faded strong after six innings. The victory extends Detroit’s lead in the AL Central and fuels optimism for fantasy managers counting on this offense to stay hot as the schedule tightens.

Key notes for fantasy: Dingler’s two-hit, three-RBI day anchors his growing value, especially in daily formats; Torres’ two-hit performance rekindles optimism after a hitting slump; Báez’s multi-RBI day adds upper-half upside in deeper rosters. Morton’s six innings without allowing a run provides a potential streamer option in favorable matchups, while Torkelson and Pérez showed cautious but productive plate discipline that could translate into continued run production against suspect pitching.
