A two-run homer by Roy Smalley capped a three-run uprising in the eighth inning that lifted the Twins to a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. The Twins were behind, 1-0, when Hosken Powell led off the eighth with a single, was sacrificed to second by Rob Wilfong and scored on a single by Ken Landreaux. Smalley then drilled his round-tripper. [The Sporting News]
