New York (A) Beaten, 6-4, by Minnesota
Minnesota registered a win at Metropolitan Stadium by beating the New York (A) Yankees, 6-4. Pitcher Vern Law was one reason why the Twins triumphed. The win went to Joe Bonikowski in relief, making him now 5-5. Jack Sanford took the loss for New York (A). The win puts Minnesota at 63-57 this season.

Had Jose Offerman not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Offerman hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Twins.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Offerman. "And not try to do too much."
