Run-scoring singles by Glenn Borgmann, Dave McKay and Mike Poepping enabled the Twins to edge the Angels, 3-2. Borgmann accounted for his RBI in the fourth inning. The hits by McKay and Poepping followed singles by Rod Carew and Dan Ford in the sixth.

The Angels counted their pair in the eighth on a hit batsman, double by Paul Dade and single by Jerry Remy. Tom Burgmeier saved the game for Jim Hughes, coming in after the bases were loaded and striking out Ron Jackson to end the rally. [The Sporting News]
