Getting a three-run start in the first inning, the Twins went on to defeat the Yankees, 5-2. Singles by Steve Braun, Tony Oliva and Jim Holt produced the first run before Steve Brye doubled to knock in two more. The Twins piled up a total of 16 hits but were able to add only two more tallies, one in the fourth on a safe bunt by Brye and singles by Randy Hundley and Rod Carew, and the other in the seventh when Holt singled for his second RBI of the game.
