A wild throw by Alan Bannister with two out in the 11th inning resulted in the Twins defeating the White Sox, 6-5. Glenn Adams hit a two-run homer for the Twins and Jorge Orta had a similar blow for the White Sox as a pinch-hitter. The White Sox took a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth on a solo swat by Jim Spencer, but the Twins tied the score in their half with a walk, single by Roy Smalley and sacrifice fly by Rod Carew.
