Notes & reviews

play string confirmed in Min Star
hit on the leg
Mike Smithson left with pulled rib-cage muscle
Twins manager Billy Gardner talked to catcher Dave Engle and with pitcher Len Whitehouse
Twins manager Billy Gardner replaced Len Whitehouse with Ron Davis but Angels manager John McNamara complained so Davis was sent back to the bullpen because this was the second trip to the mound during the same at bat
