. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A three-run homer by Steve Brye in the first inning started the Twins off to a 5-3 victory over the White Sox. Dave Hamilton, making his first start for the White Sox since being obtained from the Athletics, walked Dan Ford and Eric Soderholm before being tagged for Brye's homer.

A pass to Johnny Briggs, an infield out, single by Glenn Borgmann and sacrifice fly by Tom Kelly added a run in the sixth. The Twins posted their final tally in the ninth when Soderholm doubled and Briggs singled. White Sox scoring included a homer by Ken Henderson. [The Sporting News]
