Tony Oliva, who batted in two runs with a double in the eighth inning to tie the score, doubled again in the 10th to plate Rod Carew and give the Twins a 4-3 victory over the White Sox. Carew singled with one out and, after Harmon Killebrew struck out, scored easily from first base on Oliva's double. [The Sporting News]
