PREDICTION: DETROIT , MINNESOTA
Oddsmakers currently have the DETROIT listed as point favorites versus the MINNESOTA, while the game’s total is sitting at 8.
The Minnesota Twins aim for their first series sweep on the road in nearly two months when they wrap up a three-game series at the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. After coasting to a 6-1 win in the series opener, the Twins got three RBIs from Tyler Austin and a solid start by Jake Odorizzi in Tuesday’s 5-3 triumph, their fifth in the last six meetings with the Tigers.
Jorge Polanco failed to homer for the first time in three games for Minnesota but he finished with a pair of hits and two runs scored in the win. Mikie Mahtook drove in all three runs for Detroit, which reached the 90-loss mark for the second straight season. Spencer Turnbull will make his first career start Wednesday for the Tigers opposite fellow rookie Stephen Gonsalves. Detroit has dropped six in a row at home, its longest such slide since it lost the final seven straight at Comerica Park to finish last season.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins LH Stephen Gonsalves (0-2, 9.39 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Spencer Turnbull (0-0, 0.00)
Gonsalves will be making his first start since Sept. 7, when he was pounded for five runs over 2 1/3 innings against Kansas City. He was used out of the bullpen six days later against the Royals and allowed one unearned run in three frames. The 24-year-old Californian will be facing the Tigers for the first time.
Turnbull worked a perfect inning of relief – striking out one – in his big-league debut Friday at Cleveland. The former second-round pick, who turned 26 on Tuesday, was 5-8 with a 3.92 ERA in 23 starts at multiple levels in the minors this year. He had 133 strikeouts and 103 hits allowed in 119 1/3 innings during those 23 appearances.
WALK-OFFS
1. Mahtook is 4-for-8 with a home run, a triple and four RBIs in his last two contests.
2. Twins 3B Miguel Sano was 0-for-4 with four strikeouts Tuesday and is 1-for-15 over his last five games.
3. Minnesota RHP Trevor Hildenberger got the save Tuesday but has given up seven runs across 2 1/3 innings over a span of three appearances.
PREDICTION: Tigers 6, Twins 5
