Game #397 - Minnesota Twins, 8 @ Milwaukee Brewers, 3 (rained out after 5 innings)
The Twins jumped all over Bob McClure in the first inning. Kent Hrbek hit a two run homer with just one out, driving home Mickey Hatcher. Hatcher was on base after a fluke single caused Charlie Moore and Robin Yount to collide. Moore will be on the shelf for 11 games. The Brewers are so depleted with injuries I don't even have a position player to call up to the active roster. Dave Engle doubled home two as well to give the Twins a 4-0 lead after one inning. Hatcher hit a two run jack of his own in the second inning, and the only thing that could cool off the Minnesota bats was the unexpected downpour that ended the game after five innings.
