The Twins and Mariners divided a doubleheader, the Twins winning the lidlifter, 6-1, and the Mariners capturing the nightcap, 13-3, as Jeff Burroughs clouted three homers and drove in six runs. In the first game, Rob Wilfong gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead with a solo homer in the first inning, and the Twins hiked the margin to 2-0 in the second on a run-scoring forceout by Hosken Powell. Albert Williams, giving up just four hits in six innings, was the winning pitcher and Jerry Koosman cleaned up to record the save.

In the second game, Burroughs capped a four-run first inning with a three-run shot after a single by Richie Zisk delivered the first tally of the frame. He drilled a two-run smash in the fifth and added a solo sock in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
