DETROIT — Brandon Inge singled home the winning run in the 13th inning and the Detroit Tigers beat Minnesota 11-10 on Saturday night, damaging the Twins’ chances of earning home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs.

The AL Central champions fell a game behind Tampa Bay in the race for the best record in the American League. The Rays, with a soft schedule the rest of the way, lead the AL East by 1½ games over the New York Yankees.

Johnny Damon and Miguel Cabrera opened the 13th with singles off Pat Neshak (0-1). Jhonny Peralta followed with a grounder to third that was misplayed by Danny Valencia for an error, loading the bases.
