The Twins muscled up for two homers in the 4th en route to an early 3-0 lead off Phil Ortega. Jim Kaat rode 6 shutout innings into the 7th when backup catcher Doug Camilli tied the game by going yard. It seems like each of his 5 homers were game changers. The game stayed tied into the 13th when Frank Howard did what he is paid to do, sending home the faithful with a walkoff two run homer.
