The starting pitchers for Game 1 of the Series were Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Jim "Mudcat" Grant of the Minnesota Twins. The Dodgers' starter normally would have been Sandy Koufax, but Game 1 occurred on Oct. 6, 1965, which happened to be Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. Koufax, who was Jewish, had announced he would not pitch on that day.

The Twins won Game 1 of the Series at Minneapolis' Metropolitan Stadium, 8-2.
