Twins Come Back Late to Top Tigers, 4-1
Detroit wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Mark Buehrle, falling to the Minnesota Twins, 4-1. Buehrle threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Brusdar Graterol notched his 32nd save in 35 chances. The loss makes Detroit 80-64.

Minnesota used a timely hit from Manny Trillo to get the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins ahead, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Trillo.
