Jim Kaat allowed Tom Kelly to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game as the
Minnesota Twins topped the Seattle Mariners by a score of 6 to 1 at SAFECO
Field.

Minnesota went ahead for good in the top of the 2nd inning scoring 2 runners
on 1 hit (a Kirby Puckett two run homer). That was all the offense they were to need. Minnesota had 7 hits for the night.

The victory was credited to Kaat(1-0) who went the distance, allowing 1 run.
Mike Moore(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He allowed Minnesota 6 runs (4 earned) on hits and 3 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings of work.
