April 21, 1967 at Cleveland Stadium
Angels 6, Indians 5 (4-5)
The Angels won an exciting game to end their three game losing streak when they came back from four down to tie it, and then they came back again and won it in the ninth when the Indians took the lead again. Jim Fregosi provided the heroics in the ninth when, down by a run, he hit a two run shot to give the Angels their first lead of the game.
Pete Schaal also homered for the Angels and Jose Cardenal drove in two runs. Jack Sanford was bounced after four innings and it was Bill Kelso who picked up the win despite giving up the go ahead run in the bottom of the eighth. Lew Burdette picked up the save with a perfect ninth inning.
