Twins shutout Tigers 6-0
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Lance Lynn walked off the mound in frustration Tuesday, despite his most efficient outing for the Minnesota Twins.

Twins overtake Tigers 4-2 behind strong start from Berrios
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - While Jose Berrios struggled through a four-start stretch that began in mid-April, the Minnesota Twins were reeling for most of that time.
