Twins Come Up Short at Detroit
The Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins, 7-6, at Comerica Park. The win was largely due to the efforts of right fielder George Springer, who captured player of the game honors. He went 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Zach Britton got the save, his 24th in 25 chances. The win puts the Tigers at 56-61, while the Twins drop to 53-66.

Springer contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Detroit in the bottom of the seventh. With his team trailing 6-3, Springer took a fastball from Tommy Kahnle and stroked the home run to right. His 24th home run of the season allowed the Tigers to leap in front, 7-6.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Springer, "but we got it done."
