Tigers Drop Twins, 7-2
Detroit got a strong outing from Darren Oliver as the Tigers defeated the Minnesota Twins, 7-2, at Metrodome 1994-2009. Oliver, the winner, moves to 5-4. He threw 5 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 4 walks. The victory gives Detroit a record of 82-72.

Detroit used a well-timed hit by Darin Erstad to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Tigers ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

Oliver called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
