The Tigers defeat the Twins 6-5 on the strength of the bullpen. Both starters went six innings, giving up five runs, but the Detroit pen allowed no hits and just one walk, allowing the Tigers to win with a run in the eighth inning. Al Alburquerque keeps K-ing batters, with two more today in one inning of work as he gets credited with the win. In 16 1/3 innings, Al has walked 11 but struck out 28, and only allowed eight hits. The Tigers can live with the high walk rate if no one else can put the bat on the ball.
