August 13, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 3 (62-50), White Sox 2 (61-50)
For the first time in a long time, the White Sox are not in first place in the American League as the Twins passed them after sweeping their three game series. Jim Merritt had the big outing on the mound for the Twins and he gave up two runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts in the complete game win. Bob Locker gave up the game winning run in the bottom of the eighth and he fell to 5-3.
Rich Rollins singed and drove in all three Twins runs. Tommy Agee was the hitting star for the White Sox with a single, a double and a solo homerun.
