Generous Twins Run of Giveaways Continues in Loss
The Minnesota Twins suffered a 3-0 setback to the New York Yankees as their recent error-prone defense and costly baserunning continued. After a nine-game skid, Minnesota had won three straight but faltered in the seventh inning when Jerry Kenney delivered a go-ahead triple and Jim Lyttle was caught in a rundown. George Mitterwald later homered to cap the Yankees’ scoring. The lone other action saw Atlanta defeat Philadelphia 6-2 in the National League.
