Ken Landreaux drove in three runs -- one with a single in the first inning and two with a homer in the eighth --to provide the margin of victory as the Twins defeated the Mariners, 6-3. The M's took a 3-2 lead with three runs in the sixth on an RBI double by Bruce Bochte and homer by Leon Roberts, but Rick Sofield tied the score with an inside-the-park drive in the seventh. After Landreaux dissolved the deadlock, Rob Wilfong singled for an insurance tally in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
