AL 4/20/67: Three for the price of one

Sox veto Senators with 8th inning rally

Jerry Adair's 2-run single in the top of the 8th brought home the go-ahead runs off Senators' reliever Dave Baldwin, while Duane Josephson singled what turned out to be the difference-maker as the league-leading White Sox beat the Senators in DC by a 5-4 score. Adair's go-ahead single was his 4th hit of the game, the other 3 were doubles. Frank Howard's home run off Hoyt Wilhelm in the bottom of the 8th brought the Sens close, but Wilhelm shut them down the rest of the way to earn the save in relief of John Buzhardt.

Alvis triples his pleasure

Indian 3rd sacker Max Alvis turned a triple play in the second inning against the A's. Bert Campaneris led off the inning with a single and was walked over to 2nd by Mike Hershberger. Danny Cater then lined a hard-hit ball to Alvis, throwing to Vern Fuller at 2nd, then Fuller relayed to 1st completing the rare "3 for the price of 1."

The A's tied it in the bottom of the 1st on Sal Bando's round trip. The small ball came via Bert Campaneris, who drew a 1-out walk in the bottom of the 5th and stole 2nd. Joe Rudi chased him home with a 2-bagger, giving the A's a lead they would not give up. Reggie Jackson, Gene Tenace and Deron Johnson saw to that in the bottom of the 8th, chasing Mike Cuellar from the game with back-to-back-to-back home runs. Jackson's homer came with Sal Bando on base. Final: Oakland 6, Baltimore 1.
