Minnesota scores a club-record 11 runs in an inning, the 10th inning at Oakland, and sets a major-league record for runs in the 10th, in winning 14 – 4. The Twins send 16 batters to the plate in the frame, garnering eight hits, four walks, and three errors. Harmon Killebrew’s 3-run homer is the big blow. Minnesota’s 11 runs match the New York Yankees’ 12th inning of July 26, 1928, for most runs for one club in extra innings, and shatters the previous high for the 10th inning of eight runs.
