This terrific weekend series concludes this afternoon, the Twins looking to save face. And another terrific pitching matchup of two excellent righthanders.
Wilson set the Twins down in order. Bottom 1, McAuliffe and Wert singled by Chance recovered to escape unscathed. Top 2, Bob Allison walked with one out. Versalles doubled him to third. Rollins fried to shallow right, Allison holding. He the scored as a Carew reached on an infield single. Detroit jumped ahead in the 3rd. Earl Wilson, one of the very best hitting pitchers sent one over the auxiliary scoreboard to tie the game. McAulliffe and Wert again singled for 1st and 3rd. Gates Brown walked to load them and Kaline smashed one the hot the crowd on its feet, yet alas, hit it to the deepest part of the part managing a sac fly and the lead. Tony Oliva tied the game with his 4th if the season, going deep into the upper deck in right. The Tigers did manage one more rally against Chance, putting 2 on in the 6th only to have Freehan ground out. Chance then tamed the Bengals, punching out 9 of the last 10 he faced sending the game into overtime. Wilson allowed only one single after the Oliva homer, set the visitors down in order in the 10th. Jim Perry came in in relief in the 10th and worked around a leadoff walk. Top 11, Killebrew walked and Ted Uhlaender pinch ran. He put his legs to good us, flying around the bases on a triple by Bob Allison. Save Wickersham relieved allowing Allison to score on single by Zolio. Perry once again walked the leadoff batter in the last of the 11th but a fly ball and two whiffs gave the duke to the Twins.
