A four-run outburst in the third inning carried the Red Sox to their 13th triumph in the last 14 games, a 5-3 verdict over the Twins. Dwight Evans led off the third with an infield hit and was safe at second on a fielder's choice when second baseman Ron Washington failed to touch the bag after fielding Jim Rice's grounder.

A single by Carney Lansford plated Evans and a double by Dave Stapleton drove home Rice. Glenn Hoffman then chased home Lansford and Stapleton with a single up the middle past the drawn-in infield. [The Sporting News]
