Getting four-hit pitching from Joe Decker, who struck out 10, the Twins snapped a six-game losing streak by defeating the Brewers, 3-0. George Mitterwald and Larry Hisle hit homers and the Twins' other run counted on singles by Steve Brye and Rod Carew around a sacrifice bunt by Jerry Terrell. [The Sporting News]
