Dan Ford drove in five runs with two homers and a double in support of Bill Campbell, who pitched the Twins to an 8-0 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the Rangers came back with a four-run outburst in the sixth inning to win the nightcap, 4-2, although Ford hit another homer. The Twins' outfielder opened his slugging in the lidlifter with a circuit clout in the first. After driving in another run with a double in the third, Ford homered with two aboard in the sixth.
