Taking advantage of five walks, the Twins scored four runs in the seventh inning to defeat the White Sox, 6-5. With one out, Stan Bahnsen passed Jim Holt before being removed. Terry Forster walked Randy Hundley and yielded a run-scoring double by Jerry Terrell. Passes to Sergio Ferrer and Rod Carew forced in another run. Cy Acosta replaced Forster and walked Larry Hisle to force in the tying tally. Tony Oliva then hit a sacrifice fly to plate the deciding run. [The Sporting News]
