Rod Carew rapped three singles to raise his average to .408, drove in three runs and stole home for the 16th time in his career to pace the Twins to a 10-3 victory over the Brewers. Sal Bando and Sixto Lezcano homered on consecutive pitches in the first inning to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead, but Bob Gorinski hit his first major league homer for the Twins to produce two runs in the second and the rookie also doubled for another RBI in the fourth when the Twins pushed over four runs.

Carew stole home after driving in a run with a single and reaching third on an error. Dave Goltz, the Twins' winner, gave up seven hits in posting his sixth complete game of the season. [The Sporting News]
