Exploding for five runs in the fourth inning, the Twins recorded their first victory of the season, beating the Mariners, 7-5. The Twins loaded the bases in the fourth on walks to Roy Smalley and Kent Hrbek and a single by Randy Johnson.

An infield single by Gary Ward plated Smalley, and Hrbek registered when third baseman Manny Castillo booted Sal Butera's grounder. Jim Eisenreich then lined a two-run single to right -- his first major league hit -- and Butera scored the last run of the inning on a fielder's choice. Hrbek clouted a solo homer in the fifth.
