Top prospect Jackson Jobe earns 1st major league win as Tigers top Twins 4-0
Spencer Torkelson homered and drove in three runs for the Tigers, who have won seven of their last eight.
Jobe (1-0), the third pick of the 2021 amateur draft and the overall No. 3 prospect per Baseball America, cruised through the Twins' lineup after earning no-decisions in his previous two starts. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed just three baserunners — two singles and a walk — while striking out two batters.
Brenan Hanifee, Tyler Holton and John Brebbia each pitched a scoreless inning of relief for Detroit.
Chris Paddack (0-2) gave up two runs — one earned — on two hits with two walks and five strikeouts over five innings for Minnesota, which at 4-11 is off to the second-worst start in team history.
The Tigers took a 1-0 lead with an unearned run in the first inning. Zack McKinstry led off with a walk, and Kerry Carpenter followed with a chopper to the right of second base. Carlos Correa fielded the ball cleanly but his throw on the run was wide of first base, allowing McKinstry to take third. He then scored on Torkelson's sacrifice fly.
They doubled their lead in the fourth when Torkelson hit a leadoff single and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Justyn-Henry Mellow.
