Homers Turn Killebrew Opinion Of Cleveland Park
Har mon Killebrew hit two homers to lift the Minnesota Twins to a 10-4 win over Cleveland at Municipal Stadium. The slugger, noted for poor sight in that park, belted his 504th and 505th career homers and drove in five runs as the Twins surged ahead after a 34 first-inning hole. Detroit beat Chicago 4-2. Kansas City routed New York 4-0. Oakland 6-2 over Washington. California edged Boston. Milwaukee at Baltimore postponed. Killebrew’s two blasts came off Steve Dunning, who took the loss. Blyleven left the mound after a tiring first inning but settled, while Rod Carew and Tony Oliva contributed. The day also included a strong Detroit performance and a testy moment as Willie Horton was hit in the eye but with no fracture indicated.
