April 30, 1967 at Yankee Stadium
Yankees 4, Angels 1 (7-9)
The Yankees handed the Angels their fourth straight loss in a ten inning game. Both teams scored a run in the second and then neither team scored until Mickey Mantle hit a three run walk off homerun in the tenth inning to put the game away.
Buck Rodgers drove in the only run for the Angels and Jim Fregosi had three hits in the game. George Brunet was awesome through nine innings but he was probably left in there an inning too long as he let two men reach base with only one out before Minnie Rojas gave up the Mantle homerun.

Angels 4, Yankees 2 (8-9)
The Angels finally figured out the Yankees and snapped a four game losing streak in the second game of their doubleheader. Don Mincher had a big game at the plate for the Angels. He went two for four with a homerun and two RBIs. It was his fifth homerun of the season.
Rickey Clark picked up the win and he improved to 2-0. He gave up two runs on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts in seven innings of work. Bill Kelso struck out three in the final two frames and he picked up his first save of the season.
