Twins Win, 10-4, Versus Rangers
The Minnesota Twins saddled the Texas Rangers with a loss at Metropolitan Stadium. The final score was 10-4. Roy Smalley was 3 for 4, including 2 singles and 1 home run. The Minnesota shortstop scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Joaquin Andujar got credit for the win, improving to 3-7. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits in 6.2 innings. The loss makes Texas 32-45.

The Twins got an important contribution from designated hitter Pat Kelly, who in the bottom of the second punched a 1-0 fastball into right for a bases-clearing double. It was his 18th double of the season and put the Twins ahead, 4-0.

"Good win for us," said Smalley. "Now we'll focus on the next one."
