Tigers Stumble, Lose to Twins
Freddie Freeman was instrumental in his team's 11-3 triumph over the Detroit Tigers. The first baseman went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Minnesota Twins. The winner was Nick Pivetta, who threw 88 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 7 hits. The Twins now own a record of 73-86.

Freeman had a big at-bat with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth inning, when he hit a grand slam. The Twins went on to win.

"It's a good day to be a fan after a win like that," Freeman told the Minnesota Bulletin.
