A pinch-single by Rob Wilfong in the ninth inning scored Dave Edwards and gave the Twins a 6-5 victory over the Mariners. With one out, Glenn Borgmann walked and Edwards ran for him. John Montague replaced Floyd Bannister on the mound for the Mariners and uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Edwards to take second, before Wilfong stroked his single. [The Sporting News]
