After giving up three runs in the first inning and coming back with six in their half, the Twins went on to defeat the Red Sox, 10-4. Bill Singer, who started for the Twins, was knocked out in the fourth after yielding another run to the Red Sox with none out, but Tom Burgmeier relieved and pitched scoreless ball the rest of the way, allowing only two hits.
