A wind-blown double by Butch Wynegar with the bases full in the fourth inning scored three runs and carried the Twins to a 4-2 triumph over the Yankees. The Twins filled the bases when Roy Smalley and Ron Jackson singled and Ken Landreaux drew life on an error by Chris Chambliss. Mike Marshall, working in relief of winning pitcher Geoff Zahn, earned his 15th save in 37 appearances. [The Sporting News]
