Twins Clinch Tie for AL West as Newman Keyed Win
The Twins beat the Royals 8-1 at home to clinch at least a tie for the AL West. Al Newman made a stellar defensive play at second base in the top of the first, setting momentum. Kirby Puckett, Gary Gaetti and Kent Hrbek homered in a five run first inning as Minnesota finished 56-25 at home, best in the majors, drawing a season high crowd at the Metrodome. The win reduced the magic number to one for Minnesota, who last won the division in 1970.
