In a perfect night at bat, Tony Oliva smashed two homers and two singles to lead the Twins' attack in a 10-3 victory over the White Sox. Oliva singled in the first inning when the Twins scored four runs off Wilbur Wood with the aid of a double by Harmon Killebrew and triple by Steve Braun. Oliva homered in the third and fifth innings and was on base with a single when Killebrew hit for the circuit in the seventh. Brian Downing accounted for one of the White Sox runs with a homer.
