Two unearned runs in the first inning, resulting from an error by Sal Bando, proved the difference when the Twins defeated the Athletics, 4-2, to complete the sweep of the three-game series. Designated hitter Danny Walton provided what proved to be the deciding run with a homer in the third and Bobby Darwin singled to plate an insurance tally in the fifth.
