Continuing his sensational relief pitching, Mike Marshall made his 17th appearance of the season for the Twins and gained his sixth victory against one defeat, to go along with nine saves, when Ron Jackson and Bob Randall doubled for a run in the ninth inning to beat the Indians, 4-3. Marshall worked the last two innings and allowed only one hit.

Bobby Bonds hit two doubles, Paul Dade tripled and Wayne Cage homered in the Indians' scoring. The Twins, who had a homer by Jackson in the fifth, tied the score at 3-3 in the seventh. Glenn Adams singled, took third on a double by Jackson and scored on a passed ball. Jackson moved to third and came home with the tying tally on a sacrifice fly by Rob Wilfong. [The Sporting News]
