Metrodome Memories

Twins 10, Cardinals 1
Twins Lead Best of Seven Game Series 1-0

The Twins dismantled starter Joe Magrane and the Cardinals bullpen as they took game one in the World Series.  The Twins big inning was the fourth when they racked up seven runs but they added two in the fifth and one in the seventh.  Dan Gladden had a huge game with a homerun, a single and five RBIs.  Steve Lombardozzi also went yard and he was a perfect two for two with a walk, two RBIs and three runs.

Frank Viola threw a solid game and he took care of business with all of the run support.  He yielded just a single run on five hits with five strikeouts in eight innings.
