A Jacket Day promotion drew 37,756, the largest crowd in Minnesota in nearly four years, but the Twins disappointed the turnout by losing to the Red Sox, 5-1. Carl Yastrzemski hit a two-run homer and Butch Hobson drove in two runs with a pair of singles.

Bill Campbell, formerly with the Twins, saved the game for the Red Sox with four innings of two-hit relief. The Twins' only run came on a sacrifice fly by Rod Carew after Campbell replaced Reggie Cleveland with the bases loaded and none out in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
