Ron Washington collected four hits to pace an 18-hit attack that carried the Twins to a 13-4 blasting of the Mariners. Minnesota tallied four times in the second inning on a leadoff homer by John Castino, two-run single by Rob Wilfong and RBI single by Randy Johnson.

Johnson's first major league homer -- a two-run shot -- climaxed a four-run outburst in the fourth inning. A two-run single by Butch Wynegar capped a four-run seventh. Roger Erickson went the route despite being tagged for 13 hits. [The Sporting News]
