Francisco Rodriguez (1-1) retired the first two batters of the ninth before Kepler sent a drive to right field to break the 1-all tie.Rodriguez then made a throwing error and appeared to be shaken up, but after a conference at the mound he stayed in the game and allowed the two-run shot by Rosario.Ryan Pressly (3-5) earned the win in relief, and Brandon Kintzler pitched the ninth for his sixth save.Minnesotas Joe Mauer and Detroits Ian Kinsler homered in the first inning, and that was all the scoring until the ninth.The last-place Twins took two of three from the playoff-chasing Tigers, with Detroit managing only four runs in the series.Were in an offensive funk that started before this series, and theres not really much you can do about that, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.
