Dave McKay's two-run homer in the second, added to two RBIs by Lyman Bostock, propelled the Twins past the Brewers, 6-3. Bill Butler, relieving starter Joe Decker in the fourth with the bases loaded and none out, checked Milwaukee the rest of the way on two hits, handling the Brewers their ninth defeat in the last 10 games.

The Twins added an unearned run following McKay's homer in the second. Rod Carew singled home Bostock, who had doubled, in the fourth, and Bostock singled in the final two runs in the fifth. Bill Sharp drove in all the losers' runs with an infield out in the second and two-run single in the the fourth. [The Sporting News]
