A nice quiet game for three innings turned into a Donnybrook as both teams erupted for 5 run innings, the latter almost squandering the full Chisox lead. The on,y difference was the Pale Hose was able to sneak across one extra run in a previous inning. Neither starter acquitted themselves well but the ageless wonder Hoyt Wilhelm kelts his former team at bay allowing the hone club to snag the opening game of the twin bill.

Sunday in New York turned into the Bob Allison show as he showed the Yankee outfields the vast expanse of the big ball yard in the South Bronx. Jim Perry was the grateful recipient of such offensive support guiding the visiting Twins to their third win in four in NY, losing his shutout like many others have, a home run off the bat of Mickey Mantle.
