In a game that looked like a sandlot performance, the Twins defeated the Angels, 6-4. There were 13 walks in the contest, plus four wild pitches, two balks, two hit batmen, one passed ball and four errors. Butch Wynegar made the difference for the Twins on offense, driving in two runs with a double and scoring twice. [The Sporting News]
