Twins Beat Texas, 8-7
The Minnesota Twins wiggled past the Texas Rangers, 8-7, at Metrodome 1983. The win was highlighted by the performance of Minnesota right fielder George Foster. The winner was Minnesota reliever Mark Fidrych, now 5-4. The loser was Tim Rodgers. With the win, Minnesota pushed its record to 91-56.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Minnesota designated hitter Randy Edwards, facing Jesse Orosco, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Twins the 8-7 win.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Minnesota manager Bill Benson.
