Glen Perkins Retiring from the Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins have placed closer Glen Perkins on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder injury.

The Detroit Tigers were barely finished celebrating another go-ahead homer in the ninth inning when an ill-advised dive and an infield single cost them a victory. Aaron Hicks hit a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 4-3 victory over the AL Central-leading Tigers on Tuesday night.

David Freese had two doubles and an RBI and pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Alcides Escobar led off the ninth inning with a blooper to shallow right for a single, and Alex Gordon swatted the second pitch he saw over the right-field wall to give the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

At the crack of the bat, San Diego Padres manager Bud Black didn't think center fielder Alexi Amarista had a chance to get Eduardo Escobar's screaming line drive. Step by blazing step, it didn't take Amarista long to give Black and the rest of his team some much-needed hope.

Kennys Vargas hit a three-run homer in his first home game for Minnesota, powering the Twins past Jesse Hahn and the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Tuesday night.

A big hit from Sam Fuld and a quick recovery by Glen Perkins gave the Minnesota Twins a win that temporarily helped them forget about a season that's slipping away.

The Minnesota Twins will have a couple of hometown All-Star's next week at Target Field.
