Bob Randall drove in three runs, including the decisive pair with a double in the sixth inning, to enable the Twins to defeat the Tigers, 7-5. Larry Hisle contributed a homer with a man on base. Randall's double with two out broke a 4-4 tie and followed an error that made both runs unearned. [The Sporting News]
