Sonny Siebert pitched his first shutout of the season and Vic Harris led the Rangers at bat with two triples in a 3-0 victory over the Twins. Siebert, who allowed six hits, stopped Rod Carew on his 18-game batting streak. Harris' first triple came in the second inning after a pass to Jim Spencer and single by Jeff Burroughs. Harris then tripled again in the ninth and scored the final run on a single by Ken Suarez. [The Sporting News]
