Luis Tiant allowed only two hits and pitched the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Twins. Larry Hisle walked and Joe Lis doubled for the Twins' run in the second inning, but the Red Sox bounced back with their pair in the third on doubles by Dwight Evans and Tommy Harper and a single by Luis Aparicio.
