Exploding for five runs in the first inning, the Indians went on to a 7-2 thumping of the Twins. The Indians sent nine batters to the plate in their getaway as losing pitcher Roger Erickson walked three batters and served up back-to-back doubles to Bobby Bonds and Andre Thornton. Bonds hit a homer in the second and Thornton added the Indians' last run with a blast in the seventh.
