Winding up a five-hour, 27-minute marathon, Mickey Rivers drove in Oscar Gamble with a two-out single in the 19th inning to bring the Yankees a 5-4 victory over the Twins. The Twins scored all their runs in the second on four hits, a walk, sacrifice and error before the Yankees began their comeback with a homer by Graig Nettles in their half of the second.
