June 26, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 2 (35-33), Red Sox 1 (35-33)
The Twins tied the Red Sox in American League standings as Jim Kaat was just a little bit better then Jim Lonborg in a 2-1 pitcher’s duel. Kaat gave up one run on six hits with eight strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings and the win improves his record to 5-8 on the season. Lonborg dropped to 9-3 and he gave up two runs on six hits and four walks with ten strikeouts in seven innings of work.
The Twins scored both of their runs in the fourth inning. Tony Oliva led off with a double and then he scored on Zoilo Versalles’ single. Then Versalles scored on Ted Uhlaender’s triple.
The Red Sox lone run came in the very first inning. George Scott singled home Mike Andrews and those two players accounted for five of the Red Sox eight hits in the game.
