1967 American League Pennant Race

May 14, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Athletics 4, Twins 2  (11-15)

Once again, A’s pitching did a lock down on the Twins hitters in Minnesota’s third straight loss.  This time they picked up just five hits with two of them coming off of the bat of Earl Battey.  He also drove in one of the Twins’ two runs.  The other run came on a solo homerun by Harmon Killebrew, and it was the Killers fourth homerun of the season.

Jim Ollom was shelled and he gave up four runs and got only one batter out.  The loss drops him to 0-1 on the season.  The pen shut the A’s down the rest of the way, but the hitters couldn’t get it going to pull of a comeback.
