Twins 8, Cardinals 4
Twins Lead Best of Seven Game Series 2-0

The Twins took a commanding two game lead in the 1987 World Series as they once again ran up the score on the Cardinals’ pitchers.  Tim Laudner had the big game at the plate and he went two for three with a walk, a homerun, three RBIs and two runs.  Gary Gaetti went two for three with a walk, a solo homer and two runs.

Bert Blyleven gave the Twins seven quality innings.  He gave up two runs on six hits and one walk with eight strikeouts in seven frames.  Juan Berenguer was touched up for two runs in the eighth inning but Jeff Reardon pitched a perfect ninth to complete the win for the Twins.
