1967 American League Pennant Race

April 11, 1967 at Memorial Stadium

Orioles 6, Twins 3  (0-1)

The Twins lost their season opener in a tough loss that saw Jim Kaat give up four first inning runs.  He calmed down after that and the Twins made a run at the Orioles, but they still didn’t score enough to overcome those four runs much less the six the Orioles ended up putting on the board.  Kaat gave up four runs in four hits and a walk with three strikeouts. 

Tony Oliva accounted for most of the Twins offense.  He went two for three with two RBIs and Rod Carew was the only other Twin with a multi-hit game.
