MLB – Tigers
Ian Kinsler drove in three runs, as the Detroit Tigers got past the Minnesota Twins 4-2 last night. Kinsler led off the game with a home run. After Minnesota scored two runs in the fifth inning, he drove in another run to tie it in the sixth… then broke the tie with an RBI double that just missed being a home run in the eighth inning. David Price pitched eight strong innings to earn the win, and Joakim Soria claimed his 20th save.
