Twins Win 5-4 Walk-Off
Target Field did not lack for drama.

Minnesota beat Detroit at Target Field, eking out a 5-4 win. The triumph was primarily due to designated hitter Hsi-chuen Tian. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Minnesota reliever Adam Pennington picked up the win, raising his record to 9-11. Bill Whittaker was tagged with the loss.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. With Minnesota trailing 4-2, Tian jumped on a changeup from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Bill Whittaker and hit a 3-run home run to left-center. With one swing, the Twins had a walk-off win.

"He who laughs last laughs best," Tian said, postgame.

The win for the Twins raised their record to 74-74.
