J.D. Martinez lifted a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning that plated the winning run for the Tigers in their 4-3 triumph over the Twins. Twins reliever Casey Fien, who was tagged with the loss for Minnesota, has been on the mound for three walkoff defeats this season (game-ending singles by Cleveland’s Mike Aviles on May 7 and Toronto’s Kevin Pillar on June 9 before Martinez’s game-winner on Sunday), tying him with Boston’s Andrew Miller for the most in the major leagues.
