Roger Erickson and Doug Corbett combined on a four-hitter as the Twins blanked the Brewers, 1-0. The lone run of the game came when Butch Wynegar began the Minnesota seventh inning with a single, moved to second on a groundout and, after an intentional walk to Roy Smalley, scored on a single by Ron Jackson.
