Minnesota Win to Pull Even With Philadelphia
The Minnesota Twins and the Philadelphia Athletics will take the League Championship Series to a decisive 7th game. In a must-win situation today, the Twins beat the Athletics 7-2 at Shibe Park to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Minnesota right-hander Cy Falkenberg had a big role in the win. He threw 8.2 innings allowing 2 runs.

George Foster, the two-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Foster contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Minnesota up, 2-0.

Foster called the win "what playing unselfish baseball looks like."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Shibe Park in Philadelphia.
