Minnesota at California – Frank Robinson’s 534th career home run was the only hit off of Jim Kaat as the Twins won a 2-1 pitching battle from the Angels. Bill Singer of California gave up just four hits, but Rod Carew’s single in the third inning drove in both Minnesota runs. Robinson belted his homer, which tied him for sixth on the all-time list with Jimmie Foxx, in the second inning. Jim Holt picked up three of the Minnesota hits, two singles and a double.
