Game 48: Twins 9, Tigers 4


Kevin Slowey picked up his first win of the season and the Twins got back on track with a big win against the Tigers who are arguably most disappointing team in the MLB.


The Twins pulled back to .500 (24-24) while the Tigers fell to 20-28.


Highlights of the game include:



- Third baseman Mike Lamb hit his first home-run of the season in the 6th inning off of starter Armando Galarraga.


- Justin Morneau and Lamb combined for the Twins extra base hits. (2 doubles for Morneau and a triple for Lamb)


- Tigers manager Jim Leyland was ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the top of the 7th inning.


- Michael Cuddyer only left two men in scoring position.


Tonight's game will feature Boof Bonser (2-5, 5.25) vs. Nate Robertson (1-5, 6.08). Be prepared as the game may break several MLB scoring records with the quality of pitching put out by both teams.


Start time is 6:05 CT.
