Brant Alyea batted in all seven of the Twins' runs in the first game with two homers and drove in two more with a single and sacrifice fly in the second game to feature 7-6 and 8-3 victories over the Brewers in a doubleheader. Alyea started his slugging in the first inning of the opener, hitting a grand slam after Cesar Tovar and Rich Reese singled and Harmon Killebrew walked to load the bases. Tony Oliva was hit by a pitch in the third inning, Killebrew singled and Alyea hit his second homer of the game to tie the Twins' club record with seven RBIs. Stan Williams, who was the winner in relief, set a Twins' record with his ninth consecutive victory.

Hal Haydel, making his first major league appearance, pitched five innings of relief in the second game and also hit a homer to receive credit for the Twins' decision. The rookie allowed four hits, including a homer by Tommy Harper with a man on base. Ron Perranoski finished both games for the Twins and picked up a pair of saves. [The Sporting News]
