Dozier then tied it with a lead-off solo homer in the ninth off Joaquin Benoit.

Anthony Swarzak (3-2) earned the win for Minnesota, which ended a four-game losing streak.
Torii Hunter went 3-for-6 with an RBI for American League Central-leading Detroit, whose magic number to win the division crown remained at two.
