Yankees 4, Twins 3 (19-21)
The Twins comeback fell just short as they lost the first game of their doubleheader with the Yankees. Down 4-1, they scored two runs in the ninth but that’s all they’d get and they’d settle for a one run loss.
Dave Boswell took the loss and he dropped to 1-3 on the season. He gave up four runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings.
Rod Carew went three for four in the loss. Harmon Killebrew went yard for the tenth time this season with a solo shot in the sixth inning.

Jim Merritt threw a two hit shutout in a very nice start as the Twins salvaged a split with the Yankees in their doubleheader. He didn’t walk a single batter and he struck out eleven in the win.
Harmon Killebrew went three for four with a run and an RBI in the win. Cesar Tovar was the only other Twin with more then one hit. He went two for four.
