Metrodome Memories

September 23, 1987 at the Metrodome
Twins 4, Rangers 2  (82-70)

The Twins continued their hot streak as they won their fifth straight game and pushed the Athletics five games back of first place.  Bert Blyleven gave up two runs in 6 2/3 innings but he didn’t get the win.  That went to Juan Berengeur, who improved to 7-1 with 1 1/3 innings of shutout relief.  Jeff Reardon threw a shutout ninth to save his 30th game of the season.

Dan Gladden provided the bulk of the offense in the win.  He went two for three with a walk, a homer, a triple and three RBIs.  Don Baylor singled and he drove in a run.
