Homers by Randy Johnson and Gary Gaetti powered the Twins to a 4-2 victory over the Tigers. Johnson blasted his round-tripper leading off the fourth inning and later in that frame, after a walk to John Castino, Gaetti connected for the circuit. The Twins' first run came in the second inning when Sal Butera grounded into a double play with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
