Twins Suffer 7-1 Road Loss
Starting pitcher Brandon Matheny did his part in helping the Detroit Tigers thwart the Minnesota Twins, 7-1. With the victory, the Tigers upped their record to 75-68.

Fernando Tatis had a big 2-run double for the Tigers in the bottom of the second inning. With Detroit leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 24-year old left-handed pitcher Richard Dobson and swatted a double to center. It was his 31st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Tigers ahead, 3-0.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Tatis.
