Rod Carew batted in five runs with a double, single and sacrifice fly to lead the Twins to a 12-3 victory in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader after the Angels won the first game, 4-3, on a homer by Ellie Rodriguez in the 10th inning. The Angels, who also had a circuit clout by Leroy Stanton in the opener, fell behind when Johnny Briggs accounted for all of the Twins' runs with a homer in the eighth. The Angels then tied the score in the ninth on singles by Jerry Remy and Joe Lahoud, a sacrifice and infield out by Winston Llenas.

Mark Wiley, making his first major league start, was the Twins' winner in the nightcap. The Twins' attack, other than Carew's hits, included two-run homers by Steve Braun and Steve Brye. [The Sporting News]
