Scoring two runs after two were out in the ninth, the Yankees tagged the Twins with their tenth straight defeat, 6-4. Willie Randolph singled and scored the tie-breaking run on a double by Ken Griffey, who came home on Oscar Gamble's single.

The Twins recorded the fourth triple play of their history in the second inning. With Bobby Murcer on second and Graig Nettles on first, Roy Smalley struck out. Murcer was breaking for third and catcher Sal Butera fired to third baseman Gary Gaetti, who chased Murcer back to second. Nettles, who had moved to second, raced back toward first. Gaetti threw the ball to first baseman Kent Hrbek, who tagged Nettles and threw to pitcher Terry Felton, who tagged Murcer sliding into third. [The Sporting News]
