Jim Kaat pitched a one-hitter and Rod Carew drove in the Twins' runs with a single in the third inning to defeat the Angels, 2-1. Frank Robinson homered in the second for the only hit off Kaat. Bill Singer, who was the loser, allowed four hits, three of them by Jim Holt. In the third, George Mitterwald was hit by a pitch, Holt singled and both runners then scored when Carew singled.
