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.
