Since losing his initial decision of the season, Jim Hughes, Twins' rookie righthander, had six straight victories to his credit after beating the Tigers, 5-2. Hughes escaped from trouble in the first inning at the expense of only one run on a pass to Leon Roberts with bases loaded. A single by Steve Braun and double by Rod Carew tied the score in the third.

The Twins finally broke away in the seventh. Braun walked and when Ron LeFlore overran a fly ball by Carew, runners wound up at second and third on the error. Following an intentional pass to Bobby Darwin, Tony Oliva singled to drive in two runs. Tom Veryzer homered in the Tigers' half, but the Twins added a pair in the eighth when Glenn Borgmann was safe on an error and Braun hit for the circuit. [The Sporting News]
