A pinch-single by Don Money in the sixth inning broke a 7-7 tie as the Brewers outlasted the Twins, 8-7. After the Twins had tied the score with four runs in the top of the sixth, the Brewers tallied the decisive run in their half when Charlie Moore singled, stole second and came home on Money's single.
