Recording the 10th victory in his last 11 decisions, Len Barker pitched the Indians to a 5-2 victory over the Twins. A homer by Ron Hassey following a walk to Toby Harrah gave the Indians a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Joe Charboneau slapped a single in the third to make it 3-0 and Jorge Orta clouted a solo homer in the fifth. Barker struck out 11, raising his league-leading total to 150. [The Sporting News]
