The Twins were gulity of six errors, three of them by Glenn Borgmann, while losing to the Indians, 4-1. The Indians' first two runs were earned, but a wild throw by Borgmann admitted a tainted tally in the fifth inning and another wild throw by the catcher, plus an error on a play at the plate, allowed another unearned run to score in the sixth. Ray Fosse, the Indians' catcher, also uncorked a wild throw to give the Twins their run off Dick Tidrow, who pitched a four-hitter. [The Sporting News]
