A four-run rally in the eighth inning, helped by three walks, lifted the Twins to a 6-3 victory over the White Sox. Butch Wynegar and John Castino each hit a run-scoring single, Greg Johnston lofted a sacrifice fly and pinch-hitter Jesus Vega accounted for an RBI with a grounder in the Twins' scoring. Harold Baines had a homer for the White Sox. [The Sporting News]
