Indians 2, Twins 1 (77-60)
The Twins lost the second game of their doubleheader against the Indians yet still remained in first place because all three of the other contenders also split their Labor Day doubleheaders. Al Worthington took the loss when he gave up a run in the tenth inning which was unfortunate because a solid start by Jim Perry went to waste. He gave up one unearned run on six hit and three walks with five strikeouts in seven solid frames.
Bob Allison singled and he drove in the lone Twins run of the game. Tony Oliva doubled and he scored the lone run.
