The Twins broke the game open in the top of the seventh inning. After walking Kennys Vargas and giving up a single to Kurt Suzuki, Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez was pulled -- giving way to right-hander Bruce Rondon. Byron Buxton advanced both on a sacrifice bunt. Eduardo Nunez followed with a two-run single, adding to Minnesota's lead. Both runs were charged to Sanchez. Joe Mauer then singled in Nunez with two outs. The trouble didn't stop there, as Brian Dozier smacked a two-run home run over the wall in left. Going to the bottom of the seventh, the Tigers trail 6-0.
