In a tight contest at Target Field, the Minnesota Twins edged the Detroit Tigers by the score of 4-3. Minnesota second baseman Whit Merrifield, who blasted 1 home run, was named the player of the game. Reynaldo Lopez got the win, improving to 3-0. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 9 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 2. The losing streak for Detroit has now reached 5 games.

Merrifield had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a 0-1 fastball from Hector Neris, he banged a 2-run home run to left-center, giving the Twins a 3-2 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Merrifield.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Eric Dolegowski. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."
