Doubles by Butch Wynegar and Lyman Bostock and a single by Mike Cubbage produced two runs in the 12th inning and brought the Twins a 6-4 victory over the Tigers. The Twins took a 4-3 lead with a homer by Cubbage in the eighth, but the Tigers tied the score in their half with a run on a double by Rusty Staub, an infield hit by Bill Freehan and sacrifice fly by Alex Johnson. Bill Campbell, pitching in relief for the fifth straight day, was the Twins' winner, raising his record to 13-3 to go along with 18 saves. [The Sporting News]
