The Minnesota Twins faced a tough opponent in Detroit pitcher Matthew Liberatore, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Comerica Park by a final score of 7-5. Liberatore went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Minnesota reliever Jimmy Bannatyne picked up the win, while Jeff Penrice took the loss for Detroit. The Twins, now 5-10, have not found much traction so far in 2024.

Minnesota relied on the bat of Kaleb Cowart to get the win. The third baseman ripped a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Twins ahead, 6-5. For the game, Cowart had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Cowart said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
