Splitting a doubleheader, the Twins won the first game, 5-3, and the Tigers captured the second game, 4-2. A three-run outburst in the seventh inning carried the Twins to victory in the opener. Hosken Powell drilled a one-out double and scored on a single by Ron Jackson. Pete Mackanin then followed with a home run.

Jack Morris allowed only one hit -- a one-out single by Rob Wilfong in the first inning -- in hurling the Tigers to triumph in the nightcap. Steve Kemp and Richie Hebner socked solo homers. [The Sporting News]
