The Angels failed to hold a 5-1 lead, but then came back with a run in the ninth inning to defeat the Twins, 6-5. Jim Fregosi drove in two runs with a double and Roger Repoz homered with a man on base to pace the Angels to their early advantage. George Mitterwald hit a double, triple and homer to help the Twins catch up. Joe Azcue singled for the Angels in the ninth and gave way on the paths to Jarvis Tatum, who moved up on a sacrifice by Chico Ruiz and scored the winning run on a single by Sandy Alomar.
