| A five run fifth and some dandy bullpen work allowed Minnesota to top the host Orioles and return home to Metropolitan Stadium with the series tied at a game apiece. Rich Reese homered, drove in three runs, and was a perfect 4 for 4 to pace the 15 hit Minnesota attack. Ron Perranoski tossed two perfect innings of relief to prevent an infamous Baltimore comeback and preserve the victory. |

Ron Perranoski finished beautifully and Rich Reese had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the
Minnesota Twins outscored the Baltimore Orioles 9 to 7.
Reese had a big day with his bat. He laced a single in the 2nd inning,
cracked a solo homerun (his 1st of the season) in the 4th inning, singled
bringing in two baserunners in the 5th inning and stroked a one-base hit in
the 7th inning. Perranoski relieved and was untouched by Baltimore as he
recorded the save, his 1st.
Dave Boswell(1-0) allowed 7 runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory. The
loss was charged to Dave McNally(0-1). He was hit hard and gave up 9 hits
and 2 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.
'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it
was nothing.' Boswell said. 'I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't put
the ball where I wanted it.'
