A pinch-double by Rod Carew lifted the Twins to a 5-4 triumph over the Red Sox in the first game of a doubleheader, but a three-run homer by Carlton Fisk enabled the Sox to win the nightcap, 4-2. In the opening contest, the score was 3-3 going into the Twins' sixth when Craig Kusick walked and Roy Smalley beat out a bunt to set the stage for Carew's liner down the left field line.
