July 5, 1967 at Anaheim Stadium
Angels 4 (41-40), Red Sox 3 (40-36)
The last time the Angels had a winning record was back when they were 7-6 on April 25. After being as many as twelve games below .500, the Angels have now fought their way out of the cellar and are now contending in the American League. And the game played out in an interesting way. George Brunet gave up two runs in the ninth to blow a 2-1 lead but then Don Mincher bailed him out with a two run homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Angels the win.
Jose Santiago took the loss and it wasted a nice start by Jim Lonborg. Santiago fell to 4-4 on the season and Brunet picked up the win and he improved to 6-11.
All four Angels runs were scored via the long ball. Mincher had the two run homer in the ninth and then Roger Repoz and Bob Schaal each hit solo homeruns. For the Red Sox, George Thomas hit a two run homer and Joe Foy belted a solo shot for to account for the three Red Sox runs.
