This was a real back and forth game. In the top of the first Onix Concepcion reached on a single. He stole second base and reached third on a George Brett fly out. He proceeded to score on a passed ball by Tim Laudner. Kansas City returned the favor in the bottom of the second when Tim Teufel scored on a wild pitch by Mark Gubicza.
Minnesota pulled ahead three to one when Tom Brunansky went deep for a two run bomb in the third. But KC tied it up again in the fifth. In a huge two-out rally, Willie Wilson tripled, scored on a Concepcion double, and then two batters later Hal McRae singled home Concepcion. That would turn out to be the deciding run as Dan Quisenberry held the Twins scoreless over the final two innings.
