The Minnesota Twins got a marvelous performance from pitcher Earl Francis. The right-hander kept the Cleveland offense from ever getting much traction.

Minnesota is now 46-45, Cleveland 39-51.

Francis, the winner, is now 9-8, after putting the clamps on the Cleveland offense. In 7 innings of work, he gave up no runs on 2 hits, while collecting 6 Ks.

"Earl is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said Minnesota manager Dan Hornbaker.
