The Minnesota Twins don't have the most stacked lineup on paper, as center fielder Byron Buxton is their only position player with an above-average track record. However, that didn't matter in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Detroit Tigers.

The Twins scored all eight of their runs on Tigers starter Framber Valdez, who gave up 10 hits over five innings. The southpaw gave up just one earned run over his first two starts, but Minnesota rallied immediately and didn't let up.

Buxton opened the scoring by running home on a wild pitch before Ryan Jeffers hit an RBI groundout to make it 2-0 in the bottom of the first. Josh Bell then hit an RBI single before Matt Wallner smacked an RBI double and Royce Lewis hit a two-run single, making it 6-0 with just one out. Valdez then retired the next two hitters to finally end the frame.

The score stayed that way until Luke Keaschall notched an RBI single in the fourth. Buxton also came home again in the sixth when Austin Martin got picked off and caught stealing second, making the score 8-2.

The Tigers had a four-run rally on Minnesota reliever Anthony Banda in the seventh, but it wasn't enough to come back.

Anything can happen in a baseball game, but scoring eight runs on Valdez is no small feat. The two-time All-Star is 82-52 with a 3.34 ERA over 190 career outings (168 starts), and he hasn't had an ERA above 4.00 since 2019.

This wasn't Minnesota's only effective offensive game recently, either. The club tallied nine runs against the Kansas City Royals on April 1, 10 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, and seven against the Tigers on Monday. It lost the Kansas City game 13-9, but beat Tampa Bay 10-4 and Detroit 7-3.

What's helped the Twins is getting everyone involved. For example, all of their starters besides Brooks Lee had at least one hit on Wednesday, and five of them had at least one RBI.

Minnesota still has room for improvement, as it's 17th in baseball with a .675 team OPS. However, the club is on the right track, as it is 6-6 and has the chance to sweep Detroit on Thursday.

Thursday's game will start at 1:40 p.m. ET, and right-handed pitcher Mick Abel will start against Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty. After that, the Twins will hit the road to play the Blue Jays.
