| After rallying for two runs in the ninth inning to tie the game, the Twins scored again in the 10th on a single by Hosken Powell and double by Glenn Adams to defeat the Blue Jays, 4-3. Powell and Adams also figured in the Twins' ninth-inning rally. Rich Chiles walked and Adams singled. Rob Wilfong bunted and the bases became loaded when Roy Howell erred on the throw to third. Mike Cubbage forced Wilfong at second, scoring Powell, who ran for Chiles. Rod Carew then singled, driving in Adams with the tying tally. [The Sporting News] |
