A homer by Steve Braun in the 10th inning lifted the Twins to a 6-5 victory over the Indians. After the Indians had taken a 2-0 lead, Phil Roof homered for the Twins with two men on base in the second. The Indians came back with three runs of their own in the seventh, two scoring on a triple by John Lowenstein.

The Twins picked up a run in their half of the seventh on a double by Jim Holt and single by Harmon Killebrew before tying the score in the ninth when Jerry Terrell singled, moved to second on a passed ball and crossed the plate on a single by Glenn Borgmann. [The Sporting News]
