Minnesota's Tony Oliva became the 1st player in MLB to hit for the cycle this year in a game against the Cleveland Indians. Oliva also knocked in 5 runs, leading the Twins to a 12-5 victory over the Indians. Cleveland pitcher Sam McDowell (19-9) was thwarted in his bid to become the AL's 1st 20 game winner because of the hitting onslaught brought on by Oliva and the Twins. |

Right fielder Tony Oliva hit for the cycle and had 5 RBI as the very strong
Minnesota Twins defeated the Cleveland Indians by a score of 12 to 5 at
Metropolitan Stadium.
Oliva was a one-man wrecking crew. He tripled in the 3rd inning, launched a
three-run homer in the 5th inning, smacked a single in the 7th inning and
doubled bringing in two baserunners in the 8th inning. Minnesota had 14 hits
for the game and Cleveland had 11.
Dean Chance(3-2) went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing no runs for the victory. Sam
McDowell(19-9) was hit with the loss. He allowed Minnesota 7 runs in 6
innings of work.
'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've
paid off,' Oliva said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't
overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on
it.'
