A brilliant relief performance by Bill Campbell, who struck out five batters in the last 2 2/3 innings, nailed down the Twins' 4-1 victory over the White Sox. Wilbur Wood, who started for the White Sox, was handed his sixth defeat to go with only one victory.

The Twins rapped Wood for two runs in the second inning on a single by Larry Hisle, double by Craig Kusick and singles by Steve Braun and Rod Carew. Braun homered for another run in the third. The Twins' final marker counted in the eighth on a single by Eric Soderholm and triple by Hisle. [The Sporting News]
