Joe Lahoud batted in two runs with a homer and single in support of Bill Singer, who pitched the Angels to an 8-1 victory over the Twins. An unearned run on an error by Dave Chalk deprived Singer of a shutout, but the Twins were even more butter-fingered, committing five errors. After Lahoud's homer in the fourth inning, the Angels scored three times on five singles, a walk, wild pitch and infield out in the fifth, but then their last four runs were unearned.
