A crowd of 34,145, largest of the season so far at Minnesota, saw the Twins lose the first game of a doubleheader, 10-4, before coming back to beat the Athletics in the second game, 2-1, behind the six-hit pitching of Bill Butler. In the opener, Bobby Darwin and Glenn Borgmann homered for the Twins, while Angel Mangual had a three-run blow for the A's, as the clubs went through six innings in a 4-4 tie. However in the seventh, the A's erupted for six runs, including a homer by Joe Rudi with a man on base.
