Tigers Deal Twins 4-1 Loss
Wet weather did not postpone the Detroit-Minnesota ballgame.

Detroit turned a fine outing from starter Cam Adkins into a victory over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The final score was 4-1. Tomás Mendoza was called on to finish, recording his 35th save.

Detroit used a clutch at-bat from Raúl González to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Detroit manager Robert Carson praised his team's "businesslike approach."

The Tigers, at 87-51, have a comfortable 14-game lead in their division.
