A throwing error by Andy Replogle enabled the Twins to post a 4-3 decision over the Brewers. The score was 3-3 when Rod Carew led off the sixth inning with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Glenn Adams. After a walk to Dan Ford, Hosken Powell hit a high bouncer back to Replogle, who threw past first baseman Cecil Cooper, allowing Carew to score. [The Sporting News]
