A single by Ken Landreaux for his second RBI of the game helped the Twins rally for three runs in the fifth inning to defeat the Blue Jays, 6-4. A double by Landreaux for a run in the first and homer by Mike Cubbage in the second put the Twins ahead before the Blue Jays erupted for all their runs in the fourth.

The Twins started their comeback in the fifth when Dave Edwards singled and scored on a double by Rob Wilfong. Landreaux's single tied the score. After an infield out by Glenn Adams, Butch Wynegar singled for the deciding run. Edwards added an insurance counter with a single in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
