A five-run outburst in the fifth inning carried the Twins to a 5-1 decision over the Indians and gave new Manager Johnny Goryl his first major league victory. The Twins collected seven hits in their big inning.

Ron Jackson opened the frame with a single, reached second when right fielder Jorge Orta bobbled the ball and scored on a one-out single by Butch Wynegar. After singles by Dave Edwards and Hosken Powell filled the bases, an infield hit by John Castino scored Wynegar. Roy Smalley then bounced a two-run single to left and Jose Morales ended the scoring with an RBI double. [The Sporting News]
