Twins Grind Out 2-0 Win
The Minnesota Twins went home winners at Comerica Park, thanks in large part to starter Pablo Lopez. Lopez stifled the Detroit Tigers, enabling Minnesota to grab the 2-0 win. Lopez, the winner, moves to 10-17. He threw 5 innings of 1-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up no walks. The Twins improved their record to 69-83 by beating Detroit.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Manuel Margot? The Minnesota center fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put the Twins on top, 1-0. For the game, Margot had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Main thing is I want the team to win," Lopez told a reporter after the game. "Just have to go out there, take care of my job, and give my team a chance to win."
