A five-run rally in the eighth inning, fashioned with four hits, a walk, hit batsman and four stolen bases, enabled the Athletics to defeat the Twins, 5-2. Jim Hughes, who started for the Twins, yielded only three hits before the roof fell in. Gene Tenace drew a walk to start the rally and gave way to Larry Lintz, who stole second. Ron Fairly, making his first appearance with the A's, rapped a pinch-single, scoring Lintz.
