April 29, 1967 at D.C. Stadium
Senators 9, Twins 6 (5-8)
After being down 4-1, the Twins rallied in the fifth inning with five five runs to take a 6-5. Then the wheels fell of the wagon in the seventh as three different relievers gave up five runs as the Senators came back to beat the Twins. Jim Perry took the loss and he gave up the first two runs in seventh but Jim Merritt gave up two runs with out getting a batter out and Al Worthington gave up a run before finally getting the final out in the inning.
Russ Nixon drove in two runs for the Twins and Rod Carew and Cesar Tovar both scored twice.
