Swan, Twins Notch Nifty 2-0 Win Over Detroit
The Minnesota Twins got a magnificent effort from pitcher Craig Swan, who kept Detroit hitters in check en route to a 2-0 Twins win at Metropolitan Stadium. Their 71-53 record puts the Twins second in the American League West Division.

Swan, a native of The United States, was dealing all game. He kept Detroit hitters off-balance, while giving the Twins 7 quality innings. Swan threw 102 pitches, allowing 2 hits and striking out 6.

Swan called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
