MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Tigers had Kevin Correia on the ropes in the second inning but missed their first chance to knock him out. They didnt miss their second. Torii Hunter had two hits and two RBIs in the Tigers seven-run third inning that propelled them to a 10-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. "We just got pitches that we could drive," said Hunter, who doubled twice among his three hits. "He left some balls up where we could capitalize on them. This guy pitches really well against us. We dont score many runs off him. But tonight we felt good at the plate and I think we were a little patient today and got some pitches we could handle." Nick Castellanos had a home run and three RBIs to back Rick Porcello (3-1), who gave up four runs and six hits with four strikeouts in five-plus innings for the Tigers. Rajai Davis added three hits to raise his average to .354. Correia (0-3) gave up eight runs -- seven earned -- and eight hits in 2 1-3 innings for Minnesota. It was his shortest outing since going just two innings last Aug. 5 against the Royals. Chris Colabello drove in his 27th run for the Twins, setting a franchise record for RBIs in April. Jason Kubel had two doubles among his three hits for the Twins. Brian Dozier hit his seventh homer of the season and Kurt Suzuki drove in two runs, giving him 19 RBIs on the year, which leads all catchers. Correia served up a two-run homer to Castellanos in the second -- and probably only got through that inning thanks to a poor decision by third base coach Dave Clark to send slow-footed Alex Avila from first base on a double by Andrew Romine. Avila was thrown out at home and Ian Kinsler grounded out to short-circuit the rally. "I was missing from the get-go," Correia said. "Balls were just kind of running back over the middle. I got away with it for an inning or so and then it caught up to me." But the Tigers had more in store for Correia. Hunter led off the third with a double and, after Miguel Cabreras groundout, the next five batters reached base with three hits and two walks, the last one from Romine with the bases loaded to make it 5-1. Hunter added a two-run single off Anthony Swarzak later in the inning that pushed the lead to 9-1. "They teach that in baseball: The most important inning is the inning after your team scores," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "We were able to bounce back and score not just a few but seven." There are no statements delivered in April, but the Tigers did throw a little cold water on what has been a surprising start to the season for the Twins. Minnesota has lost at least 96 games in each of the past three years, but rode the second-highest scoring offence in the American League to an 11-10 start that put the Twins right on heavily favoured Detroits heels in the AL Central. "Its something positive you can build off of and thats what were going to do, try to carry it over to the next day," Hunter said. "Usually when you get a loss, as a human being you kind of think about that negative and it can carry over and linger. But since we won and its positive, just try to build off it." After breezing through the first five innings, Porcello didnt get an out in the sixth before being lifted for Justin Miller. Ausmus had to use five more pitchers to finish the game, but that big third inning gave his team plenty of cushion to absorb a four-run sixth by the Twins.

Earnhardt showed a rare burst of top qualifying speed, turning a track-record lap of 161.849 mph to win the pole Friday at Dover International Speedway. Earnhardt won his second pole of the season, the first time he has multiple poles since 2002. Chase for the Sprint Cup championship drivers filled the top four spots and eight of the top 12. Kenseth, the points leader and winner of the first two Chase races, joins Earnhardt on the front row. Ryan Newman is third and Carl Edwards fourth. Earnhardts run marked the 17th time this season drivers have set qualifying records in the new Gen-6 car. Earnhardt is in 11th place in the 13-driver field. Hes not out of it, but certainly not a legitimate championship contender. He needs a hot streak in the No. 88 Chevrolet -- and for Kenseth and the rest of field to considerably cool. With that option pretty much a long shot, Earnhardt is determined to win at least one race this season. "Id be really disappointed if we dont win a race this season, because I think were a better team than we were last year," he said. "We came close so many times. Wed just like to go out there and get some trophies." No driver has been able to wrest the trophies -- or a lobster -- away from Kenseth. His series-high seven wins, including Chase victories at Chicagoland and New Hampshire, have made Kenseth the favourite to win a second Cup championship. Even Kenseth cant explain his roll since he joined Joe Gibbs Racing. "I dont think Ive ever been on one quite like this," he said. "Ive been enjoying it. You never know what its going to end." Earnhardt and Kenseth will try and keep the rest of the Chase field behind them. Five-time champion Jimmie Johnson starts eighth, Kurt Busch is ninth, Joey Logano 11th, KKevin Harvick 12th, Kyle Busch 14th, Jeff Gordon 16th, Greg Biffle 19th, Kasey Kahne 20th, and Clint Bowyer starts 23rd.dddddddddddd Bowyer got the news he wanted since the Richmond scandal when sponsor 5-Hour Energy decided to stick with embattled Michael Waltrip Racing through the 2014 season. Martin Truex Jr., his MWR teammate, is still waiting to find out where hell drive next season. Truex faces an uncertain future after NAPA Auto Parts yanked its sponsorship at the end of the season in the aftermath of MWRs decision to manipulate the outcome of the Sept. 9 race at Richmond. Furniture Row Racing is in the mix for Truex after losing Kurt Busch to Stewart-Haas Racing. General manager Joe Garone said the organization had expressed interest in the veteran driver. "We just need to be patient and see how things shake out," Garone said. Truex, who found out he likely wont need surgery on his broken right wrist, is antsy for a resolution. "Its a lot more complicated because of time," he said. "Theres no, well, wait a few weeks and talk to these people and see what theyre thinking. There is no slow-planning anything. Its, now, now, now. I need answers so I can make decisions. Thats the most difficult thing, putting people in positions where theyve got to make decisions theyre not sure about. I imagine when something happens, it will happen quick." NASCARs credibility was called into question after Richmond, and chairman Brian France ordered drivers to give 100 per cent in new rules prohibiting the artificial altering of events. Drivers have poked fun at the "100 per cent" edict the last two weeks. Asked if the track was simply quick for his qualifying run, Newman laughed and said, "No, I just tried harder." One hundred per cent? "Actually, I was 118 per cent that time," he said.
