Tigers Deal Minnesota 6-2 Defeat
The Detroit Tigers stopped the Minnesota Twins, 6-2, at Comerica Park. The Tigers got a big game from Kody Hinze, who was 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Carlos Villanueva went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. The right-hander, who led the NL in ERA with 2.66 in 2008, struck out 5 and walked 0. With the win, he's now 10-3 this season. The Tigers saw their record improve to 75-80.

The game turned with no one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Hinze hit a 2-run home run off Russell Young. It propelled the Tigers into the lead, 3-2.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Detroit skipper Herman Smith. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
