. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Hitting for the cycle, Mike Cubbage sparked the Twins to a 6-3 victory over the Blue Jays. Cubbage hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning, two-run triple in the seventh, double in the second and single in the fifth. Stan Perzanowski, making his first major league appearance in more than two years and who joined the Twins two days previously from Toledo, scattered six hits to post the win. [The Sporting News]
