The second batter in the bottom of the 1st and the game was over. Daddy Wags, Leon Wagner punished Jim Kaat for a mistake curveball and that long ball proved to be the only run of the game. The Indians never threatened again. The Twins had several chances to tie or take the lead, the best being the 8th when they left the sacks full. But Steve Hargan proved to be too much this day, ensuring only one run would be needed.
