Detroit
The Tigers led 8-0 after one inning with AL ERA leader Jordan Zimmermann on the mound, only to see the Twins come back to tie the game in the seventh. Detroit manager Brad Ausmus was ejected in the middle of the rally for arguing a called third strike. During the argument, he took off his sweatshirt and used it to cover up the plate.
Castellanos homered off Pat Dean (0-1) in the bottom of the seventh to put Detroit back in front. Dean had entered the game in the first inning and threw 90 pitches in 5 innings.
J.D. Martinez, whose dropped fly ball allowed the tying run to score in the seventh, homered in the eighth to give the Tigers a two-run lead.
Philadelphia
Conley (3-2) gave up one run and eight hits, striking out five. A.J. Ramos allowed a run in the ninth but earned his 12th save in as many tries.
Philadelphia’s Jerad Eickhoff (1-6) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. He’s winless in his last six starts.
Bour drove his seventh homer the opposite way to left-center to make it 3-1 in the sixth.
Pittsburgh

Cincinnati scored four times in the first three innings, but Cleveland tied it with a four-run third and added three in the fourth.
Francisco Lindor, who was 3 for 5, Jason Kipnis and Mike Napoli all had two RBIs for the Indians, who had 19 hits.
Kipnis’ two-run single broke a 4-all tie and helped the Indians take a three-run lead in the fourth.
Toronto
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was ejected by home plate umpire Mike Winters for arguing a called third strike in the fourth. It was the third ejection of the season for Gibbons and his second in two games — his was one of eight tossed in a game Sunday against Texas that included Rougned Odor’s punch to the jaw of Jose Bautista. Toronto has lost three straight.
Desmond Jennings also homered, and the Rays set season highs in runs and hits (17).
Drew Smyly (2-4) allowed one run and four hits in five innings to win for the first time in four starts.
The Rays roughed up Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ (5-1).
