Rooker went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Tuesday in the Twins' 6-5 loss to the Tigers in 11 innings.
Rooker picked up his fifth straight start Tuesday and gave the Twins little reason to take him out of the lineup; he's now posted a 1.118 OPS since stepping into an everyday role following the trade of Nelson Cruz to Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old will stick in the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale, manning left field and batting second.
