Twins Best Tigers in Pitching Duel
The Minnesota Twins got a magnificent performance from pitcher Garrett Richards, who stifled the Detroit offense en route to a 2-1 Twins win at Comerica Park. Richards picked up the win for Minnesota, going 7 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 4-10. The Twins go to 34-51 with the win.

Minnesota relied on the hitting of Chris Owings to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins on top, 1-0. For the game, Owings had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Bottom line," said Detroit skipper , "we didn't play well enough to win."
