Frank Howard hurried home from second base on a pop fly that fell safely to score the tie-breaking run as the Senators defeated the Twins, 3-1. Howard walked with one out in the sixth inning and stopped at second on a single by Rick Reichardt. When a pop-up by Aurelio Rodriguez escaped the Twins' reach in short center field, Howard scored, but Reichardt, who had held up, was forced at second, depriving Rodriguez of credit for a hit.
