Pitching in hard luck since his no-hitter July 3, Clyde Wright allowed only two hits in 4 2/3 innings, but they were homers by Leo Cardenas and Harmon Killebrew, powering the Twins to a 5-2 victory over the Angels. Cardenas delivered his clout to open the fifth inning. After a walk to Tom Tischinski, the next two batters went out, but Danny Thompson was safe on an error by Jim Fregosi and Killebrew followed with his round-tripper. Alex Johnson homered for the Angels in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
