Two run-scoring singles by Harmon Killebrew, plus Tony Oliva's first homer of the season, produced support for Joe Decker, who pitched the Twins to a 3-0 victory over the Brewers. Killebrew's first hit drove in Larry Hisle, who singled in the third inning and advanced on an error. Singles by Rod Carew, Oliva and Killebrew added a run in the fifth before Oliva cracked his homer for the final tally in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
