  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Detroit Tigers (57-66) 0 0 2 2 0 1 0 0 1 6 4 0
Minnesota Twins (60-64) 0 0 3 0 4 1 0 0 X 8 16 1
Twins Beat Tigers, 8-6
The inspired effort of Detroit third baseman Orlando Baker was not enough to prevent a loss, 8-6, to the Minnesota Twins. Baker went 1-2 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 times. Minnesota, now 60-64, holds down third place in the American League Central Division.

Mike Lujan had a big 2-run double for the Twins in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Minnesota leading 5-4 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from 24-year old left-handed pitcher Juan Ayala and swatted a double to left. It was his 25th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 7-4.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Minnesota skipper Leonard G.
