A four-hitter by Geoff Zahn carried the Twins to a 2-1 victory over the White Sox. The Twins opened a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Rod Carew doubled, reached third on a throwing error by Chet Lemon and scored on a single by Roy Smalley. The winning run scored in the fifth when Mike Cubbage hit into a fielder's choice with the bases loaded.
