MINNEAPOLIS -- Jose Miranda and Ryan Jeffers led a 14-hit attack as the Twins beat the Tigers 12-3 in seven innings at a rain-soaked Target Field on Thursday.

Miranda went 5-for-5 with three doubles, while Jeffers was 3-for-4 with a double and a home run. The 4-5 hitters in Minnesota’s order combined for six runs and seven RBIs. Miranda’s five hits were a career high and raised his batting average to .312 on the season.

Max Kepler had two hits and two RBIs as Minnesota took the rubber match of the three-game series. It was the Twins’ fourth straight series win.

The Tigers actually took a 3-0 lead before the Twins’ offensive onslaught commenced. Colt Keith hit a solo homer in the first off Bailey Ober (8-4).

Then with two outs in the top of the second, Zack McKinstry whiffed at an Ober changeup for strike three, but the ball skipped off Jeffers’ mitt for a passed ball and McKinstry reached base. The Tigers capitalized as Gio Urshela singled and Jake Rogers ripped a double into the left-field corner to score both runs.

The Twins rebounded with two runs in the second, three in the third and four in the fourth. Miranda and Jeffers started the second with consecutive doubles off former Twin Kenta Maeda (2-5), and Brooks Lee added a sacrifice fly to plate Jeffers.

In the third inning, the Twins loaded the bases with one out. Maeda came back to strike out Jeffers, but Kepler bounced a single through the shortstop hole to drive home two. Miranda hustled to third on the play, which proved key when Manuel Margot followed with a chopper off Maeda’s glove for an RBI infield single.

Minnesota plated four runs with two outs in the fourth to end Maeda’s day. The Tigers starter retired the first two batters. Then Carlos Correa and Trevor Larnach each drew walks. Miranda followed with a drive into the right-center gap for a two-run double. Jeffers then golfed an 0-2 splitter into the left-field stands for his team-leading 14th homer of the season and a 9-3 lead.

Steady rain began falling in the fourth inning, and the game was finally stopped in the bottom of the seventh and officially called after a 30-minute delay.
