Two-run homers by Harmon Killebrew and Frank Quilici powered the Twins to a 6-3 victory over the Orioles. Rich Reese opened the sixth inning with a single and Killebrew followed with his round-tripper to send the Twins ahead, 3-2. Tony Oliva singled and, after two out, Quilici connected for his first homer of the season.

Killebrew's clout was his 29th of the year and 475th of his career, tying him with Stan Musial for 11th place on the all-time list. Don Buford had a round-tripper for the Orioles. [The Sporting News]
