Dave Goltz pitched a five-hitter and Glenn Borgmann singled in the game's only run, leading the Twins past the Tigers, 1-0, for a Detroit club record 14th consecutive defeat. The only balls the Tigers hit out of the infield were singles as no Twins' outfielder had a putout. In the fourth, Eric Soderholm doubled and Johnny Briggs walked before Borgmann's RBI hit.
