Wednesday August 27, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Bert Blyleven yielded only six hits and struck out 13 while pitching the Twins to a 1-0 victory over the Brewers in 11 innings. Loser Bill Travers allowed four hits before yielding the mound to Tom Murphy, who was tagged for a single by pinch-hitter Tony Oliva for the Twins' run-scoring blow.

With one out in the 11th, Craig Kusick was hit by a pitch for the third time in the game, tying a major league record. Steve Brye ran for Kusick. After Johnny Briggs walked, Murphy replaced Travers. Oliva batted for Dave McKay and delivered the winning hit. [The Sporting News]
