Pinch-hitting with two out, Dan Monzon drove in a run with a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning to give the Twins a 6-5 victory over the Rangers. Dick Billings batted in four runs for the Rangers with two doubles and a triple and Ted Ford homered in the ninth to tie the score. Singles by Steve Braun, Bobby Darwin and Glenn Borgmann loaded the bases for the Twins in the 10th before Monzon delivered his winning hit.
