Home runs by Jesus Vega and Kent Hrbek and four-hit hurling by Albert Williams enabled the Twins to edge to Angels, 2-1. Vega's blast led off the bottom of the third inning and Hrbek's clout -- a 420-foot shot into the second deck in right field -- came leading off the seventh frame and broke a 1-1 tie.
