Getting life when Harmon Killebrew dropped a pop foul, the Indians scored two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Twins, 3-1. After Killebrew's muff with one out, Ted Uhlaender returned to the plate and singled. Graig Nettles forced Uhlaender, but Vada Pinson singled and Tony Horton then doubled, driving in both runners.
