The Twins snapped a 2-2 tie with three runs in the sixth inning, two scoring on an error by Morris Nettles, and defeated the Angels, 6-2. Doubles by Steve Brye and Craig Kusick produced the tie-breaking tally. After  Glenn Borgmann beat out an infield hit, Kusick was out trying to score a on grounder by Jerry Terrell. Rod Carew forced Terrell at second, but when Nettles dropped a line drive by Bobby Darwin, Borgmann and Carew scored to clinch the Twins' victory. [The Sporting News]
