A three-run homer by John Lowenstein and two-run drive by Steve Dunning carried the Indians to a 5-3 victory over the Twins. Dunning's homer in the sixth inning broke a 3-3 tie and enabled the righthander to gain the decision, although lifted in the seventh after giving up his 11th hit of the game. Tom Hilgendorf retired one batter and Ed Farmer then hurled the rest of the way to receive credit for the save.
