Tightening their grip on first place in A.L. East, the Red Sox swept a doubleheader from the Twins, 5-3 and 3-2. The first game was tied, 3-3, going into the last of the seventh when Jack Brohamer led off with a double, advanced to third on an infield hit by Jim Rice and scored on a single up the middle by Carl Yastrzemski. Brohamer also drove in Frank Duffy with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The Twins had knotted the contest in the top of the seventh on an RBI single by Rod Carew.
