After failing to hold a 5-0 lead, the Twins five erupted for five runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Yankees, 10-6. The Twins' early scoring included a two-run homer by Rich Reese, who had four hits in the game. Cesar Tovar also hit a homer to tie the score at 6-0 in the seventh. Tony Oliva doubled, Harmon Killebrew was passed intentionally and Reese was safe on an error to load the bases. Jim Holt then singled, driving in two runs, and the Twins added their other tallies on singles by Leo Cardenas and Paul Ratliff. [The Sporting News]
