Minnesota center fielder Väinö Tapaninen played a vital role in his team's 9-6 triumph over New York. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Minnesota. The win belongs to Bill Rondeau in relief. His record improves to 7-3. David Ibarra took the loss for New York. Jim Storer notched his 4th save in 7 chances.

Tapaninen had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a first pitch fastball from David Ibarra, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Twins a 7-6 lead. It was the 8th home run of the year for Tapaninen.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Twins manager Patrick Slack. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."

The Twins raised their record to 46-75.
