Dave Goltz got off to a shaky start, giving up two runs in the first inning, but the Twins' righthander pitched scoreless ball the rest of the way and beat the Brewers, 3-2. The Twins, after tying the score at 2-2, put over the deciding run in the eighth when Bob Gorinski doubled and Butch Wynegar singled. [The Sporting News]
