Twins Get Extra-Inning, 5-4 Win
The Minnesota Twins topped the Detroit Tigers, 5-4, at Target Field. Minnesota left fielder Artie Cochran was a spark plug for the offense. He went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Minnesota reliever Jorge Fajardo picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Tomás Mendoza was tagged with the loss. Detroit drops to 6-5.

The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the tenth. With Minnesota trailing 4-3, Cochran jumped on a cutter from fireballing left-hander Tomás Mendoza and hit a 2-run home run to left. With one swing, the Twins had a walk-off win.

"Baseball is such a beautiful game," said Cochran. "Anything can happen on any night, and that's why you don't dwell on what happened yesterday. Just look forward and trust you're going to have positive results."
