After scoring three unearned runs on as many errors in the first two innings, the Twins went on to edge the White Sox, 6-5. Pete Mackanin batted in two runs with a single in the third to make it 5-0. After the White Sox came back with three on a homer and double by Chet Lemon, John Castino hit for the circuit in the sixth to provide the Twins with their deciding run. [The Sporting News]
