Jim Perry, who pitched seven innings and allowed only three hits, was the winner when the Twins defeated the Rangers, 4-0. Dave LaRoche, who replaced Perry, was shaky in relief and Wayne Granger had to step in to record the final out. The Twins decided the outcome with two unearned runs in the third inning. Dan Monzon walked, Cesar Tovar singled and both scored when Joe Lovltto dropped a line drive by Rod Carew.
