After tying the game with a homer in the fifth inning, Frank Howard hit for the circuit again in the 10th to give the Senators a 5-4 victory over the Twins. The Senators went ahead, 3-0, in the first, but two-run homers by Leo Cardenas and Harmon Killebrew gave the lead to the Twins before Howard went into action.
