Designated hitter Tony Oliva rapped a double and three singles in five times at bat and drove in three runs to pace the Twins to a 6-3 victory over the Angels. Oliva doubled for one of the Twins' two runs in the first inning off Andy Hassler, who retired only one batter before being removed. Oliva singled in the fifth when the Twins added two more runs on a double by Harmon Killebrew. Oliva's fourth hit of the game came with the bases loaded in the ninth and drove in the Twins' final pair. [The Sporting News]
