Tigers Lose to Twins, 7-6
The Minnesota Twins bested the Detroit Tigers by a score of 7-6, with first baseman Edwin Encarnacion getting the main credit. On the day, Encarnacion hit 2 home runs for the Twins. The winning pitcher was Chris Stratton. His record is now 6-6. The right-hander went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits for the Twins. The 4th-place Twins lifted their record to 39-49.

It could have been a different outcome for Minnesota, had it not been for Teoscar Hernandez, the 27-year old left fielder . Hernandez contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put Minnesota up, 3-1.

"I hate to be the fly in the ointment," said Encarnacion, "but we could've played better."
