The Twins, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak by a 5-4 loss in the opener of a doubleheader, came back to beat the Yankees in the nightcap by the same score. In the lidlifter, Gene Michael singled in the ninth inning and came home with the Yankees' winning run on a pinch-double by Rusty Torres.
