Harmon Killebrew, honored in pregame ceremonies, rose to the occasion with two run-scoring singles to lead the Twins to a 5-4 victory over the Orioles. A single by Bobby Darwin, a passed ball and single by Killebrew accounted for a run in the first inning. Singles by Glenn Borgmann and Larry Hisle and double by Darwin added a run in the third.
