Homers by Jack Brohamer, Buddy Bell, Alex Johnson and Graig Nettles powered the Indians to a 10-3 victory over the Twins. Brohamer hit his homer with a man on base in the second inning. Bell and Johnson rapped their round-trippers in the fourth and Nettles added his circuit clout in the sixth. Johnson also drove in two runs with a single in the first inning. [The Sporting News]
