Luis Tiant, who was a loser in his first start August 3 after coming off the disabled list, gained his first victory since May 20 when the Twins defeated the Athletics, 3-1. Tiant, who gave up a homer by Sal Bando in the second inning, did not finish, yielding the mound to Stan Williams with two out in the seventh. The Twins took a 2-1 lead in the second when Harmon Killebrew walked and Rich Reese homered. Tiant doubled and counted the last run on singles by Cesar Tovar and Danny Thompson in the third.
