Today in Twins History: 1987




The Twins win 10-5, beating California to move out of a tie for 1st place in the AL West to move 1 game ahead of the Angels.

Blyleven gives up 3 of his 46 homeruns allowed, after setting a record by giving up 50 the season before. He didn’t pitch too poorly but George Frazier got the Win after blowing the save in the 7th.

The offensive hero for the Twins was DH Roy Smalley, going 2 for 3 with a walk and 2 doubles and driving in 3. Steve Lombardozzi hit his first homerun of the season.

Kent Hrbek stole is 2nd base of the season. He ended up the season with 5 SB and 2 CS. It was a straight steal of 2nd. Maybe it was the element of surprise.
