Twins Sneak By Tigers, 4-3
The Minnesota Twins had to overcome a fine effort from Detroit pitcher Antonio Alfonseca to grab a narrow 4-3 win at Metropolitan Stadium. Alfonseca went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. Minnesota reliever Len Watts picked up the win, raising his record to 1-8. Zózimo Czolgosz was tagged with the loss. With the win, Minnesota has a record of 35-92. Detroit falls to 70-57.

Fernando Vina was the walk-off hero for Minnesota. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Twins second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Detroit manager Bob Pollak.
