April 14, 1967 at Yankee Stadium
Red Sox 3 (2-1), Yankees 0
Billy Rohr was virtually unhittable in his major league debut and he pitched the Red Sox to a win in their series opener over the Yankees. He had a no hitter going all the way through until the final out when Howard singled to break it up. He did walk five and he struck out two.
Reggie Smith hit a solo homerun to put the Red Sox on the board and Joe Foy hit a two run shot in the eighth to give the Red Sox their three runs.
Billy Rohr is one of those anamolies. He won his first two career starts with complete games, then had only one win the rest of his career and his major league career was over after a short stint with the Indians in 1968. For this one week though, Rohr had his moment in the sun.
