MINNEAPOLIS — Wilson Ramos had another three hits in Joe Mauer's place and Michael Cuddyer added a three-run homer to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 10-4 victory over Detroit on Monday night, snapping the Tigers' five-game winning streak.

Ramos had two doubles and an RBI and Scott Baker (3-2) allowed three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts in seven innings for the Twins.

Detroit starter Max Scherzer (1-2) gave up 10 runs on eight hits with four walks in 4 1-3 innings in his second straight poor outing against the Twins. This time, his offense couldn't bail him out.

Austin Jackson had three hits to raise his average to .377, but the Twins were up 7-0 after two innings against Scherzer, who has given up 18 hits and 16 runs in his last two starts against Minnesota.
