A run-scoring single by Steve Brye and pass to Tony Oliva with the bases loaded in the 12th inning enabled the Twins to defeat the Indians, 5-3. The Indians grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first inning before Tom Kelly singled and Dan Ford hit his first major league homer to tie the score in the fourth. Oliva put the Twins ahead with a circuit clout in the eighth. but George Hendrick hit a matching blow in the Indians' half.

The deadlock persisted until the 12th when the Twins broke away. Ford walked and stole second. After Danny Thompson grounded out, Phil Roof drew a pass. Brye then singled, driving in Ford with the tie-breaking tally. A walk to Larry Hisle loaded the bases and a pass to Oliva forced home an insurance run. [The Sporting News]
