This Date in Twins History: July 8

1962 The Yankees completed a three-game sweep in Minnesota, winning 9-8 to regain first place. They remained there the rest of the way.
1969 Cesar Tovar hit a tie-breaking two-run home run in the eighth inning, his first of the season, in a 4-3 victory over the Royals.
1970 Tony Oliva went 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs in an 8-6 victory over the A's.

This will be my last This Date in Twins History. I have a little too much on my plate right now to do this every day. I will continue with the game logs once a week. If someone would like to pick up the torch and carry it, I say go for it.
