Paul Ratliff's first major league homer since 1963 carried the Twins to a 5-3 victory over the Indians. Ted Uhlaender homered for the Indians in the first inning, but a two-run blow by Tony Oliva helped the Twins take a 3-1 lead. However, the Indians chased Luis Tiant in the eighth when Roy Foster hit for the circuit.
