Frank Quilici made a winning debut as manager, succeeding Bill Rigney, when the Twins defeated the Yankees, 5-2. Harmon Killebrew provided the big blow for his new boss, hitting a homer after a single by Rod Carew in the seventh inning to wipe out the Yankees' 2-1 lead. Carew, who had three hits, as did Bobby Darwin, plated an insurance pair with a single in the eighth.
