Larry Hisle, Jim Holt and Bobby Darwin hit two-run homers and Steve Braun drove in two runs with a triple to lead the Twins' slugging in an 11-4 victory over the Orioles. Holt also accounted for a third RBI with a single. The Twins exploded for seven runs in a third-inning attack that included Holt's single, Braun's triple and Hisle's homer. Holt added his round-tripper in the fifth and Darwin capped the scoring with a circuit clout in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
