Jim Kaat and Tom Bradley each became 10-game winners when the Twins and White Sox split a doubleheader. Kaat, with the help of Wayne Granger, who relieved in the eighth inning, and Dave LaRoche, who took over in the ninth, received credit for the Twins' 6-4 win in the opener, while Bradley had help from Terry Forster, who also took over in the eighth, as the White Sox won the second game, 2-1.
