Glenn Borgmann's 12th-inning double scored Steve Braun, who had singled, as the Twins nipped the Angels, 7-6. California took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 10th on Bruce Bochte's fifth hit of the game, a single which scored Mickey Rivers. Minnesota's Johnny Briggs singled home Braun to knot the count in the bottom of the 10th. In the ninth, the Twins got two to send the game into extra innings on back-to-back RBI singles by Rod Carew and Dan Ford. [The Sporting News]
