April 14, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 5 (1-2), Tigers 3 (1-2)
Earl Wilson struggled mightily with his control against the Twins in his first start of the season. Wilson gave up seven walks in only five innings. He also gave up six hits and this resulted in four runs (three earned). He only struck out one batter.
Dave Boswell didn’t fare much better for the Twins and he was gone after four innings of work. Jim Merritt really picked him up through. He threw four innings of four hit shutout ball in relief to finish the game up and he picked up the win.
Dick Tracewski went two for four with a double, a run and an RBI. Bill Freehan singled twice and scored. The Tigers really failed to convert their baserunners into runs because they stranded twelve men on base.
For the Twins, Bob Allison and Zoilo Versalles both hit homeruns. Versalles finished with two hits, two runs an RBI.
