After Pete Redfern pitched six innings, allowing five hits and one run, Bill Campbell struggled through the last three frames as the Twins defeated the Tigers, 6-4. The Twins had a 5-1 lead when Redfern departed, but Campbell put the game in danger by throwing up a three-run homer to Jason Thompson in the eighth. However, the Twins came back with the clinching tally in their half on a single by Rod Carew and double by Dan Ford. [The Sporting News]
