Twelve strikeouts by Bert Blyleven, who set a season's high for the Twins' staff, marked the 19-year-old rookie's 5-2 victory over the Brewers. The Twins scored three runs in the fourth inning on doubles by Harmon Killebrew, Rich Reese and Leo Cardenas and a single by Blyleven, who accounted for the first RBI of his major league career. The Twins' other runs folowed in the fifth when Tony Oliva singled, Harmon Killebrew was hit by a pitch, Reese singled and Charlie Manuel lofted a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
