April 19, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 3, Orioles 2 (2-4)
Dean Chance probably had the best start of anyone in the Twins rotation to date as he struck out ten and held the Orioles to two runs. By the time the Orioles even put a run on the board, the Twins already had two up and while Chance eventually allowed the tying run in the seventh, the bats came through through in the ninth when Rod Carew singled home Ted Uhlaender to win it.
Harmon Killebrew hit his first homerun of the season. His two run shot set the stage for Chance and gave him most of the runs he’d need to win.
