Roger Clemens pitched a complete game as the Minnesota Loons defeated the
Denver Dingers by the score of 2 to 1 at County Stadium.

Minnesota set the tone of the game in the first inning with 2 runs.  Omar
Vizquel kicked off the action when he drew a walk.  One out later, Raul
Mondesi struck out, unable to help the rally.  Tino Martinez then blasted a
two-run home run.  That was all Clemens(16-9) needed.  Minnesota managed only
4 hits on the afternoon.  

Tom Gordon(14-8) was the loser.  He pitched 5 innings and surrendered 3 hits
and 4 walks.
