Tigers Suffer One-Run Loss at Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins took Detroit pitcher Luis Muñóz's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Target Field. The final score had Minnesota getting past the Tigers, 3-2. Muñóz went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs, striking out 11. Getting the save was Jorge Fajardo, his 4th. Detroit is now 6-7.

The Twins got a big at-bat from left fielder Artie Cochran. For the game, Cochran went 1 for 3 with a triple. In the bottom of the sixth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a run-scoring triple. His 1st triple of the season gave Minnesota a 3-2 lead.

"It feels good to get this one," Cochran told the Minnesota Herald.
