Jeimer Candelario's late blast pushes Tigers past Twins in extras

MINNEAPOLIS — Harold Castro hit a pair of solo home runs Wednesday, the second a 423-foot blast into the upper tank in right-center field that tied the game at 2 in the top of the eighth inning.

And in the 10th inning, Jeimer Candelario launched a two-run home run onto the berm beyond the center-field wall to put the Tigers up by two with three outs to get.

It was like pulling teeth, but the Tigers got it done, squelching a bases-loaded threat in the bottom of the 10th and securing a 4-2 win in the finale of the three-game series against the Twins at Target Field.
