Rod Carew doubled home the tying run in the seventh inning and then scored himself on Dan Ford's single to rally the Twins past the Rangers, 5-3. The Rangers had a 3-2 lead through six frames when Lyman Bostock tripled off starter Gaylord Perry to open the seventh. Carew doubled to tie the game.

Perry then walked Steve Brye and Steve Braun beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Ford singled to left to score Carew and chase Perry. Stan Thomas relieved and induced Jerry Terrell to bounce into a double play while Brye scored. Perry was tagged with his sixth straight loss, the last three since being traded to the Rangers a month ago. [The Sporting News]
