Twins Lose Contest, 6-4
Starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker pitched well enough to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins, 6-4. Their 94-66 record puts the Tigers first in the AL Central Division.

The Twins had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Tigers going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the former first round draft pick Whit Merrifield came to the plate. Merrifield hit a bases-clearing double on a 0-1 fastball from Minnesota hurler Craig Kimbrel. It was Merrifield's 15th double of the year.

"Anytime I can help the team, I feel good about it," said Merrifield.
