A grand slam by Graig Nettles climaxed a five-run outburst in the ninth inning that lifted the Yankees to a 10-5 victory over the Twins in a contest that featured eight homers. Oscar Gamble broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the ninth with a single prior to Nettles' blast. The loss extended Minnesota's losing streak to nine games. [The Sporting News]
