Cesar Tovar tripled in the ninth inning and scored on a bases-loaded grounder by Rich Reese to bring the Twins a 4-3 victory over the White Sox. After Tovar's triple, the White Sox walked Rod Carew and Harmon Killebrew intentionally. Reese then bounced to Mike Andrews, but the second baseman's throw to the plate was high and Tovar slid home with the winning run.
