Yankees 1, Twins 0 (65-51)
The Twins seven game winning streak came to an end as they dropped a dramatic 1-0 pitcher’s duel in their first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees. Jim Kaat saw a nice start go to waste and he gave up one run on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts in the complete game loss. He fell to 9-12 on the season.
The Twins had their share of baserunners but none of them crossed the plate. In all, ten baserunners were stranded but extra base hits were a commodity. Jerry Zimmerman had the only extra base hit with a double.

The Twins salvaged a split in their doubleheader with the Yankees with some late inning heroics. In this one the Yankees needed two in the ninth to win it with the big hit being a two run blast by Rich Reese. Harmon Killebrew drove in a pair of runs with two sacrafice flies.
Ron Kline improved to 5-0 although he threw to just two batters. Al Worthington pitched a shutout ninth to earn his fifteenth save of the season.
