The Twins smashed four homers, including a pair by Harmon Killebrew, and defeated the Tigers, 8-3. Killebrew began with a two-run drive in the first inning. Bobby Darwin homered in the second and Larry Hisle followed suit in the fifth. Two outs after Hisle's smash, Killebrew hit his second homer of the game to raise his career total to 550. Steve Brye doubled with the bases loaded on three walks to add the Twins' final runs in the eighth. The Tigers' tallies came on circuit clouts by Jerry Moses and Gary Sutherland.
