 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Shannon Stewart hit an RBI ground-rule double off Troy Percival with one out in the ninth inning, giving Minnesota a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
It was the first earned run Percival (0-1) allowed in 40 1-3 career innings against the Twins. Before Stewart's big hit, Percival was the only active major leaguer with at least 40 innings logged against one opponent with an ERA of zero.
Lew Ford singled to start the ninth and moved to second on a sacrifice by Michael Cuddyer. Pinch-hitter Nick Punto walked, bringing up Stewart.
