Minnesota Collects 1-0 Win
The Minnesota Twins wanted a good start from Roy Welmaker -- and he delivered one. The result was a 1-0 Minnesota win over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Tigers Park. Welmaker, now 12-8, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 7, walking 1, and allowing no runs. Minnesota, now 63-49, holds down second place in the American League Central Division.

Oscar Charleston, who is tied for 7th in the AL in total bases with 199, had a direct impact on the outcome. Charleston contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the third inning to put Minnesota up, 1-0.

Minnesota manager praised his team's "businesslike approach."
