The Twins were held to just six hits and despite a solid outing by Dave Boswell, the Twins lost the front end of their doubleheader against the Orioles.  Boswell gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits and six walks with a eleven strikeouts in seven solid innings.

Rod Carew doubled twice in the loss.  Zoilo Versalles tripled home both Twins runs in the fourth inning and that was all the Twins could muster the entire game.

The Twins got their bats going and despite a poor start by Mudcat Grant, the Twins salvaged a split with the Orioles in both their doubleheader and the four game series.  Tony Oliva had three hits including a solo homerun and reliever Jim Perry helped out his own cause when he went two for three with a homerun and three RBIs.

Grant gave up four runs in 2 1/3 but the hitters bailed him out.   Perry picked up the win and he improved to 2-4 on the season.  He gave up three hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 3 2/3 shutout innings.
