Snapping their five-game losing streak, the Indians edged the Twins, 4-3. A three-run fifth inning was decisive. Bo Diaz walked and took third on a one-out double by Buddy Bell. A single by Johnny Grubb scored Diaz but Bell was thrown out at the plate trying to score.

Johnny Sutton replaced Jeff Holly on the mound for the Twins and walked Andre Thornton. A single by Gary Alexander scored Grubb and Thornton also scored when center fielder Dan Ford's relay went into the Twins' dugout. [The Sporting News]
