Geoff Zahn, getting relief help from Mike Marshall, who notched his 30th save, gained his ninth victory in 10 road decisions as the Twins defeated the Royals, 3-1. The Twins took the lead in the second inning on a walk to Ron Jackson and back-to-back singles by Butch Wynegar and Rick Sofield. A sacrifice fly by John Castino in the fourth made it 2-0 and the Twins' final tally came on a homer by Danny Goodwin in the eighth.
