. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Doubles by Tony Oliva and Rich Reese with two out in the 10th inning gave the Twins a 5-4 victory over the Orioles, who were stopped on their eight-game winning streak. Harmon Killebrew homered with a man on base for the Twins in the first. The Orioles bounced out to a 4-2 lead, but the Twins loaded the bases with singles by Rod Carew and Killebrew and a pass to Reese in the sixth, and tied the score on a forceout by Jim Holt and single by Leo Cardenas.
