Pinch-hitter Doug Howard delivered a two-run single for the Angels in the seventh inning to beat the Twins, 3-2. After the Twins took a 2-1 lead in the top half of the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Steve Brye, Denny Doyle singled and took third on a single by Morris Nettles. With Howard at bat for Bob Heise, 
Nettles stole second. Howard then singled to drive in the tying and winning runs. [The Sporting News]
