Frank Quilici, who was fired earlier in the day, managed the Twins for the last time and wound up with a defeat when the White Sox scored twice in the 10th inning to gain a 6-4 victory. Nyls Nyman and Bill Melton hit homers for the White Sox before the game went into overtime.

In the 10th, Bucky Dent and Pete Varney singled with two out. Tom Burgmeier, pitching to Pat Kelly, uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Dent to score. Kelly then singled to drive in Varney. [The Sporting News]
