Arbitrators rule against Orioles pitcher Bergesen
DETROIT, May 23 (UPI) -- Kevin Slowey threw six innings of shutout ball Friday to win for the first time this season and the Minnesota Twins held on late to defeat Detroit 9-4.
Slowey (1-4) gave up just four hits and left after six innings owning a 5-0 lead. Reliever Dennys Reyes did not record an out in allowing three of Detroit's four runs in the seventh, but Minnesota added some insurance in the latter innings, including a solo homer by Mike Lamb.
Lamb also had a triple and scored four times in helping the Twins end a two-game skid. Detroit had a three-game winning streak halted.
The loss was suffered by Armando Galarraga (3-2). He coughed up five runs on seven hits in six innings.
Detroit Manager Jim Leyland was ejected prior to the start of the seventh inning for arguing a strike call on Carlos Guillen that ended the previous frame.
