Harmon Killebrew clouted a three-run homer in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie and enable the Twins to squeeze past the Brewers. 4-3. Jim Kaat was kayoed in the ninth when Tommy Harper hit for the circuit with a man on base, but Ron Perranoski retired the next three batters to record his 17th save. [The Sporting News]
