MINNEAPOLIS — It wasn't pretty, but Detroit Tigers right-hander Charlie Morton shut out the Minnesota Twins for six innings.

The 41-year-old, acquired from the Baltimore Orioles at the July 31 trade deadline, struggled to throw strikes with three walks and one hit-by-pitch, but he made pitches in big moments.

The Tigers supported Morton by scoring five runs in the first inning, leading to a 7-0 win over the Twins on Friday, Aug. 15, in the second of four games at Target Field.
