Jerry Koosman yielded only three singles in 8 1/3 innings and Doug Corbett then saved the Twins' 4-0 victory over the Tigers, who were stopped on their four-game winning streak. Corbett relieved and retired the last two batters after Koosman issued a pair of walks.

The Twins gained revenge on Jack Morris, who pitched a one-hitter against them on August 21. Tom Brookens, Tigers' third baseman, tied the A.L. record for most errors at his position in a game, committing four. However, only one of the Twins' runs was unearned. [The Sporting News]
