A two-run homer by Glenn Borgmann lifted the Twins to a 3-1 triumph over the Brewers. The circuit clout came in the third inning after a single by Bob Randall and broke a 30-inning scoreless slump for the Twins. Minnesota added a run in the eighth on a walk to Bombo Rivera, sacrifice by Randall and singles by Borgmann and Willie Norwood. [The Sporting News]
