July 21, 1967 at Anaheim Stadium
Angels 2 (51-44), Twins 1 (49-41)
The Angels won their fourth straight game and in the process, handed the Twins their fourth straight loss as the Angels continued their nearly miraculous come back from being in last place in the American League. They got an impressive outing from George Brunet, who was just a little bit better then Dave Boswell. Brunet, who seemed a lock to lose 20 games, won for the sixth time in seven decisions and he improved to 9-12. He gave up one run on seven hits in three walks with six strikeouts and he came an out short of pitching a complete game. Boswell fell to 8-6 and he gave up six hits and four walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.
Bobby Knoop went two for three with a double and an RBI to lead the way for the Angels. Harmon Killebrew was the only Twin with two hits and he drove in the only run with a solo homerun in the ninth inning. It was his 28th homerun of the season.
