Steady seven-hit pitching by Geoff Zahn carried the Twins to a 3-2 triumph over the White Sox. The Twins scored their deciding run in the sixth inning when Pete Mackanin led off with an infield hit, raced to third on a single by Jose Morales and tallied on an infield out by Ron Jackson. Ken Landreaux extended his hitting streak to 23 games with a first-inning single. [The Sporting News]
