Documenting the Greatest Pennant Race of All Time
[powered by WordPress.]
May 22, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 8 (16-16), White Sox 7 (20-11)
For the first time this season, the White Sox lost three games in a row and this time it was in a high scoring game against the Twins. Jim Kaat was roughed up in his start but the pen did a fair job and the hitters picked him up. Ron Kline picked up the win with an inning of shutout relief and Al Worthington gave up one unearned run in three innings to pick up his fifth save.
Joe Horlen was also shelled in his start but he wasn’t subjec to a decision either. That honor went to Bob Locker, who gave up two runs on four hits and one walk and he got just one batter out. The loss drops him to 1-1 on the season.
Cesar Tovar went two for three with two RBIs and a run for the Twins. Rod Carew singled and scored twice. For the White Sox, Tommie Agee went two for four with two RBIs and a run while Ken Berry went two for three with a solo homerun and three runs.
