It appears the Detroit Tigers just needed to face the Seattle Mariners to rebound from a pair of losses. 

All through the minor leagues, Matt Joyce and Michael Hollimon could only dream of games like they had Thursday. 

After a slow start marred by injury, Joel Zumaya is starting to find his hard-throwing form for the Detroit Tigers. 

Seattle starter Carlos Silva would like to reverse his fortunes from earlier this season against Detroit.

The message was clear: Throw strikes or be gone. 

--RHP Eddie Bonine didn't have the pinpoint control he needs to survive and prosper so the Minnesota Twins pounded him for five runs in the third inning (three unearned) in the shortest start of his brief major league career. 

These guys should be All-Stars. 

This is what it often looks like when the Minnesota Twins are winning: bunts, two-out singles and a whole lot of speed. 

--1B Miguel Cabrera did not start because of a strained left hip flexor suffered the night before, but he did pinch-hit in the eighth.

The Tigers are going to gamble on Miguel Cabrera. 

A late surge last month inched the Minnesota Twins closer to the top spot in the AL Central. 

The Angels may have missed out on big names in the past, but Ken Rosenthal says they're out to change that this summer. 

Craig Monroe hit a three-run homer and Justin Morneau added three hits to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 6-4 on Tuesday night.
