Fans watched the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers fight to the finish.

The Minnesota Twins did just enough to secure a victory over the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, at Comerica Park. Nobody did more than pitcher Jon Meger. Meger went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 8. His record improves to 6-2.

Emilio Gonzales, the slugging third baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Gonzales contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Minnesota up, 4-3.

"I like what I saw today," said Minnesota manager Chris Greuling, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."

With the win, Minnesota goes to 35-27, while the Tigers fall to 26-35.
