After reaching base with a single in the seventh inning, Tom Veryzer raced home when third baseman Mike Cubbage threw wildly on a bunt by Paul Dade, enabling the Indians to defeat the Twins, 4-3. The Twins nicked Rick Wise for all their runs in the fifth, two scoring on a double by Willie Norwood, but Dade singled a tally home for the Indians in their half of the fifth and Johnny Grubb tied the score by smashing a two-run homer in the sixth.
