Tigers Rally to Win
The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at Target Field, taking down the Minnesota Twins, 7-4. Starting pitcher Justin Verlander was a big reason why. The win makes Detroit 74-78.

Al Kaline provided a timely hit. The Detroit right fielder delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the ninth inning to put the Tigers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"Winning is seldom easy in this league," said Kaline.
