Four-hit hurling by Brad Havens carried the Twins to a 1-0 blanking of the Blue Jays. The game's only run came when Glenn Adams began the bottom of the ninth inning with a pinch-single and was replaced by pinch-runner Chuck Baker, who reached second on a walk to Hosken Powell and scored on a double by Rob Wilfong.
