Fulmer, Goodrum help Tigers top Twins 4-1, stop 5-game skid
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Michael Fulmer is a bit confused. Fulmer felt good going into his previous outing yet allowed three runs in a no-decision during a loss at Seattle. "I come here today just not feeling well. The ball felt heavy," he said Wednesday. Fulmer allowed one run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings to win for the first time in four starts, and the Detroit Tigers stopped a...

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. After pitching well for a season-high 6 2/3 innings, hitting a batter and walking another to end his night left a sour taste in the right-hander's mouth. Brian Dozier drove in three runs with a pair of doubles to back Lynn, and Minnesota cruised to a 6-0...

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. His last two turns have been masterpieces, and maybe the injury-affected Twins have found a groove again. Logan Morrison forced in the go-ahead run with a four-pitch walk in the eighth inning after striking out in his first three at-bats,...

Tigers put together late rally for 3-2 win over Mariners
SEATTLE (AP) - Less than a week ago, Matthew Boyd was trying to figure out how to slow a Seattle lineup that included Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz in the middle of the batting order. It was a bit easier for the Detroit left-hander on Thursday night with Cano now suspended and Cruz nursing a sore foot. "It's huge. Cano's a Hall of Famer and Cruz, he's one of the best power...

Willson with Detroit after growing up across the border
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - When you play for the Detroit Lions, you can be from Canada and still be considered local.

WATCH: Gardenhire, Greiner, Goodrum & Mahtook after 6-0 loss to Indians
DETROIT (AP) - Trevor Bauer gave Cleveland's beleaguered bullpen a bit of a break. Bauer struck out 10 in eight sparkling innings, and the Indians beat the Tigers 6-0 on Wednesday, avoiding a three-game sweep in Detroit. The scuffling Indians lead the AL Central despite a .500 record, and this easy win was certainly welcome for Cleveland after a pair of losses to the injury-plagued Tigers.
