June 16, 1967 at Cleveland Stadium
Indians 2, Twins 1 (30-29)
A great start by Jim Merritt went to waste as the Twins lost 2-1 in ten innings to Cleveland. He gave up just one run on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts in nine innings. Al Worthington gave up the losing run in the tenth after he gave up three hits and he got just a single batter out.
The Twins had a tough time at the plate as Luis Tiant shut them down. Cesar Tovar had three hits and Rod Carew accounted for the only run with a solo homerun in the sixth inning.
