Scattering six singles, Jim Kaat pitched the Twins to a 3-0 victory over the White Sox. The Twins collected only four hits off Rich Gossage, but George Mitterwald singled in the third inning and Jim Holt followed with a homer. Larry Hisle then singled, stole second and scored on a single by Tony Oliva. [The Sporting News]
