Joe Rudi hit two homers, including a grand slam, before Sal Bando batted in two runs with a double to enable the Athletics to outlast the Twins, 7-6. Rudi started his slugging with a solo swat in the sixth, but Steve Brye came back with a homer to spark a three-run outburst by the Twins in their half of the sixth, putting them ahead, 4-1.
