Jim Kaat, who helped himself with two singles, pitched the Twins to a 6-2 victory over the Brewers. Cesar Tovar homered for the Twins, while the Brewers picked up their runs on round-trippers by Danny Walton and Tommy Harper. Kaat drove in a run with a single in the second inning and scored from first base when a pop fly by Rod Carew fell safe for a single in center field. Kaat also singled and scored in the seventh on singles by Carew and Tony Oliva. [The Sporting News]
