Rookie righthander Jim Hughes racked up his third straight victory and second consecutive complete game as the Twins defeated the Indians, 3-0. The first Twin run came on a steal of home by Rod Carew. Carew, who holds the American League record of seven steals of home for one season, notched his first such steal since August 27, 1973.

The other Twin runs came on solo homers by Larry Hisle and Bobby Darwin. Gaylord Perry suffered his third straight loss and first to the Twins in six games since he came to the American League. [The Sporting News]
