The Twins built up a 10-0 lead before Jim Kaat was kayoed and Stan Williams pitched 3 1/3 innings of hitless ball to complete a 12-3 victory over the White Sox. The Twins chased Bob Miller in the third with three runs on consecutive singles by Cesar Tovar, Jim Holt, Tony Oliva and Harmon Killebrew, combined with a wild pitch. After Moore took over, two more runs tallied on singles by Paul Ratliff and Leo Cardenas and a sacrifice fly by Danny Thompson. Killebrew homered in the fifth when the Twins went on a four-run spree.
