Minnesota Twins starter Mike Russell was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Oakland Athletics, 5-2. The win gives Minnesota a season record of 57-48.

The game could have flipped with one out in the top of the seventh. But Mike Russell made what his manager later called "an A-plus pitch." With runners on 1st and 2nd and Oakland trailing 3-0, Russell threw a changeup to Mike Armstrong and Armstrong struck out.
