Webvideo Highlights of the Tigers 4 - 2 win over the twins.
Daniel Norris: Put forth a fine effort for the Tigers, allowing just five hits on two runs (both solo shots) in 6 1⁄3 innings of work. He also struck out 11 batters.
Ian Kinsler: Knocked Santana?s fifth pitch out of the park for a solo home run.
Ian Kinsler's 7 leadoff HRs are tied for the most in a season in Tigers history.
Miguel Cabrera: Hit a 400-foot oppo-shot in the eighth to extend the Tigers? lead.
Brad Ausmus: He had a short leash with the bullpen, and managed it well throughout. While he let Norris start the seventh, it was with a limit. The first batter to reach ended his night.
Tigers offense through six innings: The bats tempted fate yet again, as they failed to get more than three hits. Their only run for six innings came in the first on Kinsler?s solo home run.
Shane Greene and K-Rod: Greene got the out in the seventh, but he also hit the first one he saw, and then walked two in the eighth for a tricky situation. Luckily, he got yanked right away. K-Rod got two out and then put two aboard as he lost the strike zone, before finally vulturing another save.
