Game Notes

Twins walk off with a 4-3 win over the Braves in 11 innings.

Kirby Puckett leads off the bottom of the 11th with a HR off Charlie Leibrandt to force a Game 7. Puckett's blast caps a big night for Minnesota's star, as he goes 3-for-4 with 3 RBI and 2 runs.

Puckett helps the Twins grab an early 2-0 lead with an RBI triple before scoring on Shane Mack's single in the 1st. However, in a pattern that follows throughout the game Atlanta rallies. Terry Pendleton's 2-run HR off Scott Erickson ties it in the 5th.

Minnesota regains the lead on Puckett's Sac Fly in the bottom of the 5th. The Braves tie the game in the 7th, but fail to cash in for more despite having the bases loaded with 1 out.
