Twins Eke Out 6-5 Win Versus Detroit
The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins provided some drama for the home crowd.

The Minnesota Twins handed the Detroit Tigers a loss at Comerica Park. The final score was 6-5. Nelson Cruz was one of the major contributors for Minnesota. In addition to his 2 singles and 1 home run, he scored 1 run and drove in 3. The win belongs to Addison Reed in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Tyler Alexander took the loss for Detroit.

The game turned with two out in the top of the seventh when Cruz, who finished 2nd in the AL in OPS with 1.031 last year, hit a run-scoring single. It propelled the Twins into the lead, 6-5.

"Feels good to get the job done," Cruz said after the game.

At 20-24, Minnesota is in 4th place in the American League Central Division.
