Tigers Win, 7-6, at Minnesota
Detroit beat Minnesota at Target Field, escaping with a 7-6 win. The win in large part was due to third baseman J.D. Davis. He was 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Detroit reliever Ray Black picked up the win to move to 1-0. Tommy Kahnle suffered the loss. Getting the save was Zack Britton, his 3rd.

Detroit used the timely hitting of George Springer to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Tigers on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Davis told the Detroit News. "It's as simple as that."

The win gives Detroit a record of 11-9.
