 July 20, 1967

   The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins are deadlocked for 1st place in the AL. The amazing Kansas City Athletics are only 2 games out. The Boston Red Sox have begun to make a move up in the standings and are only 2.5 GB the league leaders. The rest of the teams, except for the NY Yankees, are all still very much in the picture.

TEAM RISP- Astros: 6 for 10  Mets: 2 for 14
 
Jim Wynn ripped 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Houston Astros beat the New
York Mets by a score of 14 to 5.
 
Wynn was really in 'the zone'.  He smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the
4th inning, doubled knocking in a run in the 6th inning and belted a
three-run homer in the 7th inning.  Overall Houston out-hit New York 14 to 8.
 
The victory went to Bo Belinsky(8-2) who went 5 innings, allowing 3 runs. The
losing pitcher was Bob Hendley(2-4).  He allowed a few too many baserunners
giving up 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'Some days it just all comes together, and this was one of them' Wynn said.
'I've been seeing the ball pretty well lately.'
