Twins Take Down Detroit Wednesday

The Twins topped the Tigers 6-2 Wednesday night in Detroit. Minnesota improves to 19-15 on the season with the win.

Torii Hunter started the scoring with a solo home run in the top of the first inning, and Joe Mauer hit a bases-clearing triple in the third inning to break the game open.
