Dan Ford drove in three runs with a pair of homers and Steve Brye accounted for three with a single and double to supply the Twins' chief punch in an 8-3 victory over the White Sox. Bill Campbell turned in the first complete game of his major league career for the Twins, who beat Jim Kaat for the first time after losing to the lefthander four times since shipping him to the White Sox in August, 1973.
