A six-run explosion in the fifth inning lifted the Twins to a 9-5 victory over the Tigers. Tallies in the big inning came on an RBI squeeze bunt by Rick Sofield, two-run homer by Mike Cubbage, RBI single by Butch Wynegar and two-run single by Rob Wilfong. John Castino belted a homer for the Twins in the eighth inning. Jerry Koosman got the final out of the game in his second relief appearance of the year. [The Sporting News]
