Getting relief help from Mike Marshall, who earned his 23rd save of the season, Jerry Koosman received credit for his 13th victory as the Twins downed the Mariners, 5-2. John Castino led off the Twins' third inning with a homer and the Twins added three more runs in the fourth, one scoring on a single by Willie Norwood and two on a double by Glenn Borgmann.
