Kelly Earns 1000th Win as Twins Slim Detroit 4-0
Tom Kelly won his 1,000th game becoming the 46th manager to reach the milestone as Minnesota beat Detroit 4-0 behind a five-hitter from Joe Mays. The longtime Twins skipper, who has led the club since 1986, downplayed the achievement while Johnny Damon extended his leadoff-hitter streak to 10 straight games, batting .415 with runners on. Damon went for 11 straight starts tonight against Detroit as he continues a rare opening-out hit run.
