Although collecting 12 hits, the Yankees were unable to capitalize on opportunities and lost to the Twins, 3-1. Bill Zepp, Stan Williams and Tom Hall held the Yankees scoreless until they finally broke through for a run in the ninth on a triple by Ron Woods, their only extra-base blow of game, and a sacrifice fly by Horace Clarke.
