Millers Knock Off Dynamos, 10-1
The Minneapolis Millers picked up a win at Hennepin County Stadium, knocking off the Detroit Dynamos, 10-1. Starting pitcher Van Taylor was a big reason why. In 7 innings, Taylor surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. The 4th-place Millers go to 76-83.

The Millers got a big hit from second baseman Tony Nava. Facing Detroit pitcher Larry Tindall in the bottom of the eighth, Nava pounded a bases-clearing double to left. His 24th double of the season put the Millers ahead, 10-1.

"Banging out wins is what it's all about," said Taylor.
