Metrodome Memories

October 2, 1987 at Royals Stadium
Royals 6, Twins 3  (85-75)

With little to play for, the Twins dropped their third straight game.  Even with just two days to go, the Twins didn’t know their opponents because the Tigers and Blue Jays stood tied in the American League East.

Kirby Puckett was the hitting star in the loss.  He went four for four with two doubles and a run.  Kent Hrbek went one for three and he drove in two runs.

Frank Viola fell to 17-10 although an erro by Greg Gagne resulted in four unearned runs.  Viola gave up six runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in six innings of work.
