. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A twenty-game winner last year, Dave Boswell gained his first victory of the season when the Twins outslugged the Brewers, 11-7. The Twins' attack included homers by Tony Oliva, Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew and Brant Alyea, while John Kennedy, Russ Snyder and Phil Roof rapped round-trippers for the Brewers.

Boswell was kayoed in the seventh inning. Snyder homered with two men on base after Stan Williams relieved. Roof also homered off Williams in the eighth and Ron Perranoski took over in the ninth to receive credit for his ninth save of the season. [The Sporting News]
