Twins Stay Hot in Killebrew Absence as Pence Triumphs
The Minnesota Twins, without Harmon Killebrew who dislocated his elbow, stretch their AL pennant lead to seven games after an 11 inning 3-2 win over Detroit. Relievers Al Worthington and John Klippstein held Detroit to three hits over five innings backing a late Don Mincher single scoring Sandy Valdespino. Separate games saw the Yankees beat the Angels 4-2 while Cleveland and Kansas City were rained out. Elston Howard homered for the Yankees and Tony Kubek collected his first hit in 30 at bats. Jim Fregosi drove in both Dodgers runs. Hodges hit .364 in the 1953 World Series after 21 hitless at bats prior.
