Twins Bang Out 6-2 Win Versus Cincinnati
Minnesota beat Cincinnati on the strength of starter Hideo Nomo's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a 6-2 win. The winning pitcher was Nomo, now 11-5. He tossed 5.2 innings of 0-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 6. The losing streak for Cincinnati has now reached 8 games.

Contributing to the Minnesota win was Darin Erstad. In the bottom of the first, the two-time All-Star had a 2-run home run. That made the score 2-0, the Twins in front.

Erstad called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
