He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Walt Jackson earned his 2nd save in 2 chances. By defeating Minneapolis, the 5th-place Chiefs improved to 40-41.

Chicago took a 6-1 lead on Thornton's 2nd home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off Bob Ciaramella in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Chicago to the win.

Thornton called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
