Jim Anderson had three hits, including a pair of run-scoring two-baggers, and Glenn Abbott and Bryan Clark combined on a four-hitter as the Mariners posted a 6-0 whitewashing of the Twins. Anderson doubled home Joe Simpson in the third inning for the first run of the game and doubled home Simpson again in the fifth frame. Simpson scored his third run in the seventh on an error by Twins third baseman John Castino and delivered an RBI forceout in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
