Kody Clemens gets the nod at first base to face Rays righty Taj Bradley on Saturday afternoon at Target Field. France has been scuffling of late, hitting .220 (11-for-50) with one homer over his last 15 games. He’s gone just 3-for-20 at the dish over his past seven contests.

Lee entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and flew out then. He came up in the ninth with none out and runners on the corners and rolled one down the first base line for an easy game-winner. It went as a single, since the Rays let it go in the hopes that it would roll foul. This was Lee’s second straight game out of the starting lineup, even though he’s hitting .324/.352/.490 since the beginning of July. Royce Lewis’s return has complicated the Twins’ lineup, but it seems like there should still be room for Lee most days. It’s not like the rest of the offense is thriving.

Adams entered to start the third after Cole Sands and Danny Coulombe opened the game with perfect innings. Adams wound up allowing runs in all four innings he worked, but the Rays never got the big hit to really break the game open, and the Twins came back to win 6-5. Adams will likely return to Triple-A now in exchange for fresh arm.

Duran hasn’t pitched much of late — his only appearance in the last week was a nine-pitch save on Wednesday — so the Twins got aggressive today, bringing him into a tie game in the eighth. He allowed baserunners both frames he worked, but he struck out three and then wound up with the win after the Twins scored in the bottom of the ninth. Duran threw 34 pitches, so it’ll be interesting to see if he’s available Sunday. If not, then Griffin Jax would likely close.

He also singled. He could have added to the Tigers’ margin for error in the ninth, but up with the bases loaded and one out, he grounded into a double play against Tim Herrin. The homer off Logan Allen was Torkelson’s third in five games this month and 20th overall.

Alonso had a two-run homer off Carlos Rodón in the fifth and then a three-run shot off Jayvien Sandridge that pretty much put the game away in the seventh. It’s his 24th career two-homer game and 12th with five RBI. He’s back up third in the majors with 73 RBI; both he and Eugenio Suárez are two behind Seiya Suzuki and one back of Cal Raleigh.

Hoskins told reporters that the thumb is “jammed” but not broken, so the 32-year-old will likely need to spend a few days while it’s difficult for him to grip a bat.While Hoskins is out, it seems likely Jake Bauers will be the starter at first base.
