Turning in the fourth consecutive complete game by A's starters, Rick Langford posted a 7-1 triumph over the Twins. The A's went ahead to stay in the second inning, scoring twice on an RBI single by Tony Armas and a wild pickoff throw by Twins' pitcher Paul Hartzell. They padded their margin in the eighth on an RBI triple by Milt Ramirez, an error by Twin second baseman Rob Wilfong and two-run double by MIke Edwards.
