The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at Comerica Park, topping the Minnesota Twins, 6-1. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Josh Beckett. He played a principal role in the triumph. Beckett yielded 1 run over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 12-9. With the victory, the Tigers record stands at 95-66.

Making an impact for the home team was Christian Pons. In the bottom of the fourth, the 26-year old center fielder had a run-scoring ground out. That made the score 3-1, Tigers.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Beckett. "Successful pitchers do it."
