The Twins' acquisition of Brant Alyea from the Senators paid immediate dividends when the outfielder batted in seven runs with two homers and two singles to lead the way to a 12-0 victory over the White Sox. Only 11,473 turned out at Comiskey Park for the opening game. Jim Perry pitched a shutout on a six-hitter.
