A four-run outburst in the fifth inning carried the Indians to a 5-1 victory over the Twins as Wayne Garland went the route on a seven-hitter. Bo Diaz began the Tribe's fifth with a double and scored on a single by Dave Rosello. Singles by Tom Veryzer and Alan Bannister loaded the bases before Larry Littleton delivered a sacrifice fly. Andre Thornton capped the uprising with a two-run single. [The Sporting News]
