Homers by Rob Wilfong and Glenn Adams sparked the Twins to a 4-2 triumph over the Orioles. Willong connected for a solo clout in the first inning and Adams led off the fourth with his round-tripper. A sacrifice fly by Rick Sofield produced Minnesota's second-inning run and the Twins' fourth run came in the fifth as the result of an error. [The Sporting News]
