Documenting the Greatest Pennant Race of All Time

July 15, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 3 (47-37), Athletics 2
The Twins needed back to back homers in the ninth inning to top the Athletics. Harmon Killebrew put the Twins on the board in the first inning with a solo homerun, then in the ninth, he belted his second homerun to tie the game at 2-2. Tony Oliva then followed that with a walk off solo homer to win it for the Twins.
A solid start by Dean Chance almost went to waste. He gave up two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts in eight innings. Ron Kline threw a shutout ninth and he improved to 4-0 on the season.
