August 7, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Senators 5, Twins 0 (57-49)
After holding the Red Sox to a single run over a three game series, the Twins went out and laid an egg against the Senators in their series opener. Two singles and a double were all the Twins could manage and it was Bob Allison who had the only extra base hit for the Twins.
To make matters worse, three errors led to four unearned runs as a fair start by Jim Kaat went to waste. He gave up five runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six innings of work and the loss dropped him to 8-11 on the season.
