Twins Lose in Twenty Innings

August 9, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Senators 9, Twins 7 (58-50)

The Twins blew a seven run lead when three different pitchers gave up seven runs in the seventh inning to tie the game up.  Thirteen innings later the Senators scored two runs off of Jim Roland in the top of the twentieth inning in a game that clocked in at five hours and forty minutes.  Give some major props to Al Worthington, who nearly threw the equivalent of a complete game shutout in relief with 8 2/3 shutout innings.

Tony Oliva went three for eight with two runs and two RBIs.  Cesar Tovar singled three times and scored a run in nine at bats.
