Homers by Pete Mackanin, John Castino and Tim Laudner -- his second two-run shot in as many games -- powered the Twins to a 7-1 victory over the Tigers. Laudner's blast came in the third inning, Mackanin led off the fifth with his round-tripper and Castino connected for the circuit one out later. The Twins jumped off to a 2-0 lead in the second stanza on consecutive singles by Laudner, Castino and Sal Butera and a sacrifice fly by Lenny Faedo. [The Sporting News]
