A pinch-single by Jim Holt in the ninth inning decided a see-saw game and gave the Twins an 8-7 victory over the Yankees. Danny Thompson singled to open the final frame and was forced by Harmon Killebrew. Bob Allison ran for Killebrew and stopped at third on a double by Tony Oliva. Holt then batted for Tom Hall and singled to drive in the tying and winning runs.
