Last update: July 4, 2009 - 1:17 AM

IMPACT PLAYER

Placido Polanco, Tigers

He drove in the winning run in the 16th after giving the Tigers a lead with an RBI single in the 14th. He went 3-for-8 with three RBI.

STATS

12 Games in Twins history longer than the 16 innings Friday night.

2 Walks, runs and at-bats for Nick Punto.

5 Hits for Denard Span, in eight at-bats. Nobody else from either team had more than three.

ON DECK

The Twins will send out Francisco Liriano today and hope he pitches deep into the game. The Tigers will have the same strategy with Edwin Jackson and his 2.49 ERA.
