. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bert Blyleven, making his second appearance since being sidelined by shoulder trouble, gained credit for his first victory since May 23 when the Twins defeated the Angels, 9-4. Blyleven was hurt on June 4 and did not return to action until June 27, when he was beaten by the Rangers, 2-0.

The Angels rapped Blyleven for 10 hits and forced his exit after 7 2/3 innings. Vic Albury picked up his first save of the season in relief. Dan Ford drove in three runs for the Twins with a bases-loaded double in the fourth. Rod Carew helped assure the victory, batting in two tallies with a single in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
