Willie Horton drove in two runs with a homer and double as the Tigers defeated the Twins, 4-1, behind the six-hit pitching of Mike Kilkenny, who posted his first victory of the season. The Twins picked up their run in the second inning on a walk and two singles, but Horton tied the score with his circuit clout in the Tigers' half.
