Tigers Knock Off Twins at Metropolitan Stadium
Jose Rijo was locked and loaded, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-1. Rijo went 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 2, and struck out 6. His record improves to 16-8. Detroit, now 71-58, holds down second place in the AL American League East.

Detroit used the bat of Chad Rupp to get the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Tigers ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Rupp.
