Darrell Jackson and Mike Marshall combined on a six-hitter as the Twins blanked the Mariners, 7-0. The Twins put the game on ice with a five-run third inning. A two-run double by Butch Wynegar was the big blow and Hosken Powell and Glenn Adams each drove home a run with a single and Ken Landreaux another with a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
