MINNESOTA (74-69) @ BALTIMORE (68-72)
STARTING PITCHERS
11 XZ (11-14 3.23) 3Z (5-9 3.80)
It was the tale of two pitches, one from each starter. Bill Dillman wishes he had the fastball he fed Tony Oliva back, as Tony gave Jim Kaat an early lead. Kaat, for his part, got nicked for a single in the third and who would have known, it would be the only safety he would allow in route of a one hit complete game shutout.

NOTES: Jim Kaat was simply masterful on this day proven by the fact that no Oriole runner made it into scoring position. Kitty hitched his second shutout and 6th complete game,. With his 9 whiffs, he is in third overall in the Junior Circuit. Not only does Bobby Allison have a five game hit streak, he has extra base hits in all 5 also. Two hitting streaks ended, Cesar Tovar at 7 and Larry Haney of Baltimore at 6.
