Rich Reese set an A. L. record and tied the major league mark with the third pinch-hit grand-slam homer of his career, but the blow was not enough for the Twins, who lost to the Yankees, 9-6. Ron Blomberg hit a pair of two-run doubles and Horace Clarke drove in two with a double to pace the Yankees to a 9-1 lead before Reese batted for Bob Gebhard and hit his grand slam off Lindy McDaniel in the seventh inning.
