The Twins jumped all over Frank Bertaina as the first 4 hitters had safeties and all tolled, sent 8 to the plate notching 5 runs highlighted by a Harmon Killebrew blast. But the Nats fought back, culminating in a game tying two run homer by chief Twins antagonizer Frank Howard. The game stayed deadlocked into the 9th when Bob Allison drive home what would become the game winning run.
