1967 American League Pennant Race

September 24, 1967 at Memorial Stadium
Red Sox 11 (90-68), Orioles 7

You had to have felt for Jim Lonborg in this one.  He left the game after six shutout innings and saw the bullpen almost give up the seven run lead he was given.  The Red Sox put the nail in the coffin with a four run ninth but this game shouldn’t have been nearly this close.

Lonborg improved to 21-8.  He gave up two hits and four walks with six strikeouts.  Dan Osinski gave up one run and he got two batters out to pick up his second save of the season.

Dalton Jones had a huge game.  He went four for six with a homerun and five RBIs.  Jerry Adair and George Scott both had four hits in the game as well.
