Harmon Killebrew batted in all four of the Twins' runs with a homer and a bases-loaded single to beat the Senators, 4-2, as Jim Perry continued his mastery of the capital city club. Perry's victory was his seventh straight over the Nats since April 29, 1967.

Killebrew hit his homer following a single by Tony Oliva in the first inning and added his single after Perry singled, Cesar Tovar was hit by a pitch and Rick Renick walked in the fifth. Lee Maye hit a homer for the Senators. [The Sporting News]
