June 23, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 1 (33-32), White Sox 0 (38-25)
The Twins edged the first place White Sox and it was Dean Chance who was the big story. He held the White Sox to three hits in a shutout win, his tenth of the season. A solid start by Joe Horlen went to waste and he took the loss. He dropped his first start of the season and fell to 8-1 and he gave up one run on six hits with two strikeouts in seven innings.
The lone run of the game on either side came on a solo homerun by Harmon Killebrew. It was his 22nd homerun of the season. Bob Allison and Jerry Zimmerman both went two for three for the Twins.
The White Sox managed just the three hits and a walk and nobody reached base more then once. Tommie Agee had the only extra base hit with a double.
