Otis O'Keefe was a major factor in the 6-3 Minneapolis win over Los Angeles. The Millers first baseman was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times. Bill Smith, the winner, is now 3-12. He struck out 2 and walked 4 over 7.1 innings, while allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. Picking up the save was Bobby Crooks. He's now 6 for 10 in save chances.

Dick Sheehan aided the Minneapolis cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the first. For the game, the left fielder was 1 for 3 with a walk.

"I'm trying to keep it simple," said O'Keefe. "Just do my job."

The Millers sport a record of 28-83.
