Pascual vs Merritt
Twins 9, Senators 5
Minnesota easily overcame a 4-0 deficit by battering their former teammate Camilo Pascual. Minnesota's pitching was nothing to write home about either, but when your offense scores 9 runs on 15 hits you don't need much pitching. Tony Oliva (3-5) and Cesar Tovar (3-4) led an attack that saw every starter get a hit except slugger Harmon Killebrew (0-3, with 2 k's). Bob Allison remained red hot homering again for the second game in a row while collecting 2 more hits.
Twins win series 2-0
