Home runs by Lyman Bostock, Rod Carew, Roy Smalley and Larry Hisle powered the Twins to a 10-4 rout of the Angels. Bostock's two-run smash ignited a five-run rally in the fourth that staked starting and winning pitcher Pete Redfern to a 7-2 lead.

The Angels pulled off a triple play in the sixth inning. Bostock lined to shortstop Rance Mulliniks who flipped to second baseman Jerry Remy to double up Jerry Terrell. Remy then threw to first to catch Mike Cubbage off the bag for the third putout. [The Sporting News]
