Slowey on the bump tonight. Hopefully he'll have a much better showing compared to his last start, going only 3 innings. Still looking for his 11th win of the year.

Slowey only goes 3 innings again, giving up 6 runs on 5 hits. He was leaving a lot of balls up and the Tigers took advantage.
Duensing was called up as Henn was sent down, and replaces Slowey in the 4th.
Tigers up 6-1.

The Tigers' pitcher is used to throwing an inning or 2 and has thrown 58 pitches. I'm sure he won't be available tomorrow.

Twins threaten and score a run, but can't come through, losing 11-9. R.A. Dickey takes the loss.
Hopefully the Twins will get a good showing from the starter tomorrow, as the bullpen worked from the 4th inning on.

This is very good to see. Guerrier and Nathan pitched very tidy innings and the Twins win a close, tough-fought game after last night's marathon.

Morneau went 4-4 with a homer, double and 2 RBI. Punto drives in the winning run.
