Twins 10 (27-27), Orioles 7
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.
