Minnesota Downed, 6-3, by Tigers
In the 6-3 Detroit win over Minnesota, the impact of Leody Taveras was substantial. Taveras went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times. Detroit is 79-47 and Minnesota, with the loss, 65-60.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Matt McLain to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Tigers on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

McLain called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
