Jim Perry allowed only four hits and pitched the Twins to a 3-0 victory over the Yankees. The Twins bunched singles by Harmon Killebrew, Brant Alyea, Rich Reese and Leo Cardenas for two runs in the fourth inning and added their last tally when Danny Thompson singled and Killebrew doubled in the eighth. With his 18th victory, Perry went one ahead of his brother, Gaylord, who had won 17 games for the Giants. [The Sporting News]
