Jim Perry, who went out for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning, received credit for his 21st victory, the most of any season of the righthander's career, when the Twins defeated the Angels, 4-3. Cesar Tovar doubled for the Twins in the first inning, advanced an extra base on a wild throw by Alex Johnson and scored on a sacrifice fly by Tony Oliva. Tovar got on base again with a single in the third and Oliva smashed a homer to give the Twins a 3-0 lead.
