Mike Cubbage completes the cycle when he connects for a two-run seventh-inning triple in the Twins’ 6 – 3 win over the Blue Jays at Metropolitan Stadium. The Minnesota third baseman’s rare event becomes possible when he is thrown out (9-4-5) at third base, trying to stretch a double into a triple in his first at-bat.

The Yankees win the first game of a doubleheader, 11 – 0, but the Indians rebound to win the second, 17 – 5. Duane Kuiper ties the major-league record with two bases-loaded triples in the nightcap, only the third player (after Bill Bruton and Elmer Valo) to do so in the 20th Century.
