June 27, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Red Sox 3 (36-33), Twins 2 (35-34)
Gary Waslewski, with three innings from John Wyatt, was just a little bit better then Dean Chance in the Red Sox win over the Twins. Waslewski gave up one run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings and Wyatt gave up one run in three innings of relief to pick up his eighth save. Dean Chance dropped to 10-6 on the season and he gave up three runs on ten hits with four strikeouts in eight innings.
The big hit of the game was a two run homer by Tony Conigliaro in the first inning that gave the Red Sox the lead early. Tony C. was also the only Red Sox hitter with two hits in the game. Tony Oliva did the damage for the Twins. He went two for four with a solo homerun and two RBIs in the loss.
