Glenn Borgmann drove in three runs with a single and sacrifice fly to back the eight-hit pitching of Ray Corbin as the Twins beat the A's, 6-1, for their first win this season over the A's in nine games. The Twins got three runs in the second inning on Tony Oliva's double, Jim Holt's single, Eric Soderholm's double and Borgmann's single. Singles by Holt and Soderholm and Borgmann's sacrifice fly produced another tally in the fourth and they added two more in the seventh on two walks, a single by Steve Braun and Bobby Darwin's two-run double.
