Lions Drop Vikings, 3-2
The Detroit Lions had to overcome a good performance from Minnesota pitcher Alejandro Lopez to claim a 3-2 win at Ford Field. Lopez went 8 innings and allowed 3 runs. Detroit is off to a sluggish start, getting just their 6th win in 17 games.

Detroit took a 3-2 lead on Jason Egbert's 3rd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Egbert hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Minnesota pitcher Alejandro Lopez visibly frustrated.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Detroit manager Chris Salerno said.
