Completing the four-game series sweep, the A's beat the Twins, 1-0, with Steve McCatty applying the calcimine brush on a three-hitter. The righthander had a no-hitter for 6 2/3 innings before Glenn Adams broke the spell with a check-swing single back to the mound. The A's run came in their first turn at bat when Rickey Henderson doubled, reached third on a sacrifice by Dwayne Murphy and tallied on a single by Dave Revering. [The Sporting News]
