A homer by Toby Harrah with two men on base capped a four-run rally in the seventh inning that lifted the Rangers over the Twins, 10-7. The Twins led, 7-6, going into the seventh when Bump Wills ignited a rally by drawing a walk from reliever Mike Marshall. A double by Richie Zisk plated Wills with the tying run.

After Juan Beniquez walked, Harrah, hitting only .206 going into the game, unloaded his second homer of the season. The Rangers led, 8-1, early in the game, but the Twins tied it with five runs in the sixth, featuring a three-run homer by Dan Ford. The Twins then took a 7-6 lead in the seventh on back-to-back doubles by Butch Wynegar and Glenn Adams. [The Sporting News]
