1980 Minnesota Twins season

Landreaux tripled three times July 3, in a 10-3 win over the Texas Rangers, to tie an American League record.

Landreaux, a Los Angeles native, is the only Twins player to make the All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium.

During the evening hours Thursday, Bombo Rivera was injured in a car crash with Toronto's Otto Velez and neither could resume playing Friday.

Minnesota's John Verhoeven got the win, and starter Albert Williams, who faced four batters in the fifteenth inning, got the save.

Infielder John Castino led the team in most of the major offensive categories, batting .302 with 13 HR and 64 RBI.
