September 27, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Angels 5, Twins 1 (91-69)
The Twins had a chance to clinch at least a tie for the American League pennant but they couldn’t take care of the Twins and now everything will come down a two game series with the Red Sox. The Twins had their share of hits but they stranded ten baserunners. Cesar Tovar went two for five and he drove in the lone run while Bob Allison went two for four. Future All Star third baseman Graig Nettles picked up a pinch hit double and that was the first hit of his career.
For the Angels, Don Mincher belted his 22nd homer of the season. Jimmie Hall went two for four with a triple and two runs.
Dean Chance fell to 20-13 on the season with a tough start. He gave up four runs on six hits and two walks with a strikeout in three innings of work. Rickey Clark improved to 12-11 and he gave up one run on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings. Minnie Rojas shut out the Twins through final 2 1/3 innings and he picked up his 27th save of the season.
