DETROIT -- Brian Dozier reached a personal milestone amid another Minnesota loss.Hes having a hard time separating those contradictory feelings.Im sure when the season is over, it will mean a lot more, but I just wish this was happening in (first-place) Clevelands position or Detroits position, where we were making a run, Dozier said. Were still looking at losing 100 games. ... That takes something away from this.Dozier hit his 40th home run of the season, but the Twins lost 4-2 to the Tigers on Monday night. Ian Kinsler and Miguel Cabrera homered for Detroit.Dozier is the second Minnesota player to reach 40 home runs in a season. Harmon Killebrew was the other. He did it most recently in 1970.The Tigers scored two runs in the seventh on close plays at the plate.With Detroit down 2-1, Andrew Romine walked and Jose Iglesias hit a double to the corner in left field. Romine was waved around, and he made it home right as the relay was arriving. Catcher Kurt Suzuki had to move to his left to catch the throw, and he lunged back as Romine stretched his left leg toward the plate.He was called safe, and the run stood after a review. Iglesias moved up to third on the play at home.For me, that was the most important play of the whole thing, Iglesias said. Read the ball and get to third base on that.Kinsler flied out to center, Iglesias tagged up, and Suzuki had to reach to his right this time to receive Byron Buxtons throw home. Iglesias reached his left arm toward the plate and scored to give the Tigers a 3-2 lead.Shane Greene (4-4) got the win in relief, and Bruce Rondon worked out of a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth. Cabreras homer in the bottom of the eighth gave Detroit an insurance run.Francisco Rodriguez walked two in the ninth but held on for his 41st save in 45 chances.Alex Wimmers (1-2) took the loss.Daniel Norris struck out a career-high 11 in 6 1/3 innings for the Tigers. Kinsler led off the bottom of the first with his 26th homer of the season, but solo shots by Dozier and Suzuki gave the Twins a 2-1 lead.Cabreras home run was his 32nd of the year.Ervin Santana allowed one run and three hits in five innings for the Twins. He was lifted after throwing 95 pitches.I felt great, but I was at 95 pitches so if anyone gets on, Im out of the game, Santana said. It made more sense to start the inning with a fresh arm.SLUGGERMore on Dozier: He extended his hitting streak to 16 games, and he now has 33 home runs in his last 76 games.QUALITY STARTNorris allowed two runs and five hits, throwing a season-high 106 pitches. This equaled his longest start of 2016, innings-wise. He also went 6 1/3 against the Twins on Aug. 25.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: 3B Miguel Sano left the game in the seventh with lower back tightness.Tigers: LF Justin Upton came out at the beginning of the fourth with a left calf strain.UP NEXTTwins: Minnesota sends RHP Kyle Gibson (5-9) to the mound Tuesday night in the second game of this four-game series.Tigers: LHP Matt Boyd (5-3) starts for Detroit.

NEW ORLEANS --The Golden State Warriors have been deadly efficient during the last three seasons, and the odds are they will prove it again Tuesday night as they close out a five-game road trip over seven nights against the feisty but undermanned New Orleans Pelicans.The 21-4 Warriors extended an incredible streak on Sunday night, coming back from 10 points down in the final quarter to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-108. The Warriors have gone 111 games without losing consecutive regular-season contests.The Warriors all-time NBA record is 16 games better than the next-longest streak set by Utah in 1997-98 during the glory days of Karl Malone and John Stockton.Its really one of the most impressive streaks that Ive ever seen, to have gone that long, Golden State coach Steve Kerr said after the comeback win over Minnesota. Thats a lot of games. The schedule catches up to you often in this league, and its kind of catching up to us right now. (This) was four (games) in five nights, and it will be five in seven after New Orleans.Kerr didnt have much to fret about in the fourth quarter against Minnesota. The Warriors somehow summoned the energy to outscore the Wolves 38-20, with Klay Thompson scoring 14 of his game-high 30 points in the final 12 minutes.(Its been) a lot of travel, Kerr said. We didnt have great energy, but you can see the resilience in the fourth quarter and the way our guys came up with five or six straight stops to start the quarter, which was huge in changing the momentum.Added Thompson: Twelve minutes is a long time for this team.The Warriors already have beaten the Pelicans twice this season, but the games have been surprisingly close. They defeated New Orleans 122-114 on the road Oct. 28, despite 45 points by Pelicans forward Anthoony Davis.ddddddddddddTen days later in Oakland, Golden State won 116-106 in one of the greatest stage performances of Stephen Currys young career. Curry poured in 46 points, setting the NBA record for most made 3-pointers (13) in a single game. His record flurry came one game after he had gone 0 of 10 from behind the arc.The 8-17 Pelicans had lost five straight and had been 1/3 in overtime games before outlasting the Phoenix Suns 120-119 on the road Sunday night. It was the first game back for Davis, averaging a league-high 38 minutes a game, after being rested on Saturday night in a loss to the LA Clippers.But Davis was far from the story. Point guard Tim Frazier recorded the first triple double of his career (14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists) to snap the Pelicans ugly losing streak, which included a double-overtime home loss to Philadelphia, which had lost 23 consecutive road games.It feels good, Frazier said of his triple double. I had a couple of them in the D-League, but it feels good to get one in the NBA, just to say I did it.Frazier also recorded five steals against the Suns.Youve got to understand -- hes just a tough kid, New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry said. We ask him to do a lot of things. We ask him to do things that All-Star guards do, and he never says anything. He just goes out and gives us the effort.The victory also marked the return of point guard Jrue Holiday from a three-game absence due to a turf toe. Holiday, who scored a game-high 23 points, is expected to play Tuesday night against the Warriors. Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans (knee, calf) is getting closer to returning but has not played this season. ' ' '
