Combining on a four-hitter, Pete Redfern and Doug Corbett hurled the Twins to a 3-1 victory over the Red Sox, Boston's seventh straight loss. The Twins scored in the third inning on a two-run single by Glenn Adams and added another marker in the seventh on an RBI grounder by Mickey Hatcher. [The Sporting News]
