Joe Decker, who was the victim of a viral infection and other troubles last season, winning only one game, pitched the Twins to a 6-2 victory over the White Sox, working 7 2/3 innings and allowing five hits. The White Sox committed five errors. The Twins put the game away with four runs in the fifth, two scoring on a double by Rod Carew and two on a single by Larry Hisle.
