Twins 5, Tigers 1
Justin Morneau homered and drove in two runs, Kevin Slowey went six innings and the Minnesota Twins topped the Detroit Tigers 5-1 on Wednesday afternoon.
Slowey (8-5) could've pitched more, but Magglio Ordonez's comebacker bounced off and bruised his right ankle before he threw him out on the final play of the sixth.
The right-hander walked gingerly to the dugout after throwing 81 pitches and allowing only five baserunners, ending a three-start slide in which he gave up 18 runs over 12 1-3 innings.
