The Athletics built a 5-0 lead through five innings, then held off the Twins to record their ninth victory in the last 12 games, 5-4. Oakland tagged loser Bill Butler for three runs in the second on a walk, back-to-back triples by Angel Mangual and Ray Fosse and a single by Ted Kubiak. In the fifth, Bert Campaneris walked, stole second and scored on a triple by Joe Rudi. Gene Tenace lofted a sacrifice fly to get Rudi home with the fifth run.
