A pinch-hit grand slam by Mike Cubbage highlighted a seven-run sixth inning that carried the Twins to a 10-2 rout of the Mariners. After Mariner starter Rick Honeycutt gave up a run-scoring single to Larry Wolfe, reliever Mike Parrott walked Glenn Borgmann with the bases loaded in the sixth to set the stage for Cubbage's fourth career slam. An RBI single by Jose Morales accounted for the final tally of the inning. [The Sporting News]
