Widby, Twins Too Much for Astros
Bill Widby was a major factor in the 9-3 Minnesota win over Houston. The Twins left fielder slugged 3 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored three times. The Twins saw their record improve to 54-47.

Minnesota relied on the bat of Jim Whitlock to get the win. The second baseman ripped a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Twins ahead, 4-2. For the game, Whitlock had 1 double and 2 home runs in 5 at-bats.

"We'll hit the hot tub in good spirits tonight," said Whitlock.
