Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Detroit Tigers got the win.

Detroit rode a decent outing from starter Joe Ross to victory over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The final score was 4-2. Will Smith earned his 3rd save in 4 chances.

Detroit used the bat of Kendrys Morales to get the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We did a lot of things right," said Ross.

The third-place Tigers improved to 66-63.
