A two-run homer by Jim Fregosi in the first inning proved the deciding blow as the Angels edged the Twins, 2-1, behind the pitching of Andy Messersmith, who yielded six hits and struck out 13. The Twins also scored in first inning, getting their run on a single by Jim Holt and double by Harmon Killebrew. In the Angels' half, Jarvis Tatum singled before Fregosi connected for the circuit off Jim Kaat. Thirteen strikeouts represented Messersmith's high for a major league game.
