Allowing only three hits, Geoff Zahn hurled the Twins to a 3-1 victory over the A's. The Twins scored two runs in the first inning without the benefit of a hit, taking advantage of four walks, a hit batsman and an error by first baseman Dave Revering. An infield out by Glenn Adams drove in the first run and the second came across on a bases-loaded walk to Rick Sofield.
