Tigers Earn 5-4 Home Win
The Detroit Tigers overcame a pretty good performance by Minnesota third baseman Juan Olivas, beating the Twins, 5-4, at Comerica Park. Olivas went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. Detroit pitcher Alex Wood got the win, upping his record to 3-1. Luis Pizano got the loss. The first-place Tigers have won 4 consecutive games.

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 28-year old second baseman Jesus Guzman came to the plate. Guzman hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch fastball from Minnesota hurler Luis Pizano. It was Guzman's 32nd double of the year.

"We ground out the win," said Guzman. "That's all that matters."
