Harmon Killebrew started the Twins' scoring with a single in the first inning and sealed their 4-2 victory over the Brewers with a homer in the eighth. Of the Twins' other tallies, one in the second was unearned and the other resulted from singles by George Mitterwald, Jim Holt and Danny Thompson in the fifth. Loser Jim Colborn was stopped on his personal five-game winning streak and suffered his second defeat. [The Sporting News]
