Butch Wynegar's bases-loaded double off Enrique Romo in the top of the ninth cleared the sacks, making 4-1 winners of the Twins and Pete Redfern over the Mariners. Rod Carew snapped a scoreless tie with a solo homer in the seventh, but Seattle tied it in the eighth on singles by Steve Braun, Craig Reynolds and Dave Collins. [The Sporting News]
