. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Twins, with Tom Burgmeier working 8 2/3 strong innings in relief of starter Pete Redfern, came from behind to beat the Brewers, 10-3, and end their six-game losing streak. Rod Carew stole home for the 15th time in his career in the first inning, then delivered a two-run double in the second to send the Twins in front. Dan Ford also accounted for two RBIs.
