The first grand slam of Rick Manning's major league career enabled the Indians to defeat the Twins, 9-6. The Indians were leading, 5-4, when a single by Alan Ashby, double by Frank Duffy and intentional pass to pinch-hitter Frank Robinson loaded the bases in the eighth inning for Manning's homer off Vic Albury. The blow proved decisive because the Twins rallied for two runs in the ninth before Bob Reynolds retired the last two batters to save the game. [The Sporting News]
