Aaron Hicks hit a line drive to the right-field corner and immediately took off around the bases, reaching third to lead off the seventh inning. That's what the Twins were envisioning when they put the rookie in the lineup this year, and after a rough first month in the major leagues, Hicks began May in encouraging fashion. Hicks' triple started a two-run rally in the seventh, and the Twins went on to beat Detroit 6-2 on Wednesday, snapping the Tigers' five-game winning streak. Minnesota led 3-2 when Hicks tripled and scored. The former first-round draft pick was 8 for 73 before connecting with Bruce Rondon's 101-mph fastball for an important hit.
