 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Magglio Ordonez homered and drove in all three runs against Johan Santana, lifting the Detroit Tigers to a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night and ending Santana's five-start winning streak.
Santana (11-7) threw a season-high 118 pitches after persuading manager Ron Gardenhire to let him finish the eighth inning, but the Twins again had hitting problems — leaving 14 men on base. They lost their third straight to the Tigers and trail the AL Central leaders by eight games.
Andrew Miller (5-3) threw five innings for the victory, which was finished by Todd Jones for his 25th save in 29 attempts.
