September 27, 1967 at Fenway Park
Indians 6, Red Sox 0 (90-70)
Things were really going down to the wire as the Red Sox and Twins both lost heading into a critical two game season to end the season. The Red Sox lost despite their ace Jim Lonborg being on the mound. He gave up four runs on six hits with three strikeouts in three innings of work and the loss dropped his record to 21-9.
The Red Sox were held to just five hits in the game. Jerry Adair went two for four and Carl Yastrzemski picked up a hit to stay ahead in the batting title race.

Could you make note somewhere regarding Sept. 27, 1967, that the losses by the Red Sox and the Twins on this day meant a 4-way tie for AL pennant was no longer possible? Those results left the Twins and Red Sox 1 game apart in the standings, and, ignoring any possible playoffs, the only games left for these teams in the 1967 regular season were 2 AGAINST EACH OTHER.
