With the power of four homers, the Twins snapped a nine-game losing streak by defeating the Red Sox, 9-6. Tony Oliva doubled to drive in two runs for the Twins in the first inning before the homers began with a smash by Brant Alyea to tie the score at 3-3 in the fourth. Bob Allison walked and George Mitterwald also hit for the circuit. Harmon Killebrew added a round-tripper in the seventh and Cesar Tovar provided the winning margin by connecting with two men on base in the eighth. The Red Sox had solo swats by Reggie Smith, Tony Conigliaro and Jerry Moses.
