<p>DETROIT (AP) — Zach McKinstry had three hits, including one of Detroit's four home runs, and the Tigers went on to beat the Twins 10-5 on Saturday afternoon.</p>

<p>Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter and Gleyber Torres also homered for the Tigers.</p>

<p>Casey Mize (8-2) gave up two runs on five hits and one walk in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out five as he improved to 5-0 with a 2.00 ERA in six starts at home this season.</p>

<p>Bailey Ober (4-6) took the loss, allowing seven runs on 11 hits, including all four home runs. He walked one and struck out five.</p>

<p>The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the second when Spencer Torkelson doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly. After Minnesota went ahead 2-1 on Buxton's two-run homer in the third, Detroit tied the game in the bottom of the inning on Carpenter's homer.</p>

<p>Colt Keith made it 3-2 in the fourth with a sacrifice fly and Torres followed with a two-run homer.</p>

<p>Greene led off the fifth with Detroit's third home run to move the lead to 6-2, and McKinstry's lead-off homer in the sixth made it a five-run game.</p>

<p>Carlos Correa hit a two-run homer in the eighth, but Wenceel Pérez hit a two-run double in the bottom of the inning.</p>

<p>Key moment</p>

<p>The Twins nearly took the lead in the second inning, but Carpenter leaped to keep a fly ball from Ryan Jeffers from clearing the left field fence.</p>

<p>Key stat</p>

<p>Buxton homered and stole a base in the same game for the 15th time, tying Gary Gaetti for third place on the Twins career list.</p>

<p>Up next</p>

<p>The teams finish the three-game series in the first Sunday night game at Comerica Park since 2017. Twins RHP Chris Paddock (3-6, 4.64) faces Tigers ace LHP Tarik Skubal (9-2, 2.29), who is 9-0 in his last 14 starts.</p>
