Cabrera Leads Twins to 8-6 Win Over Tigers
The skies opened up and the rain fell at Comerica Park.

The Minnesota Twins cut down the Detroit Tigers by the score of 8-6, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera. Cabrera went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Twins. The defeat makes Detroit 10-3.

Willson Contreras came through with a big-time hit for Minnesota. The catcher smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 8-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Kurt Simons said.
