J.A. Happ - Seven strong in quality start Happ (5-4) won Thursday's 5-3 game with Detroit, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk with eight strikeouts in seven innings. Impact Spinning his second quality start in three turns, Happ surrendered a two-run home run in the fourth and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth while permitting a single run. He departed down 3-2 after pitching a clean seventh, but Minnesota rallied for three runs in the bottom of the inning to give the veteran left-hander the win. The outing was Happ's first of at least seven innings since April and the eight strikeouts represented his second-highest tally.
