May 3, 1967 at Anaheim Stadium
Angels 2 (10-10), Red Sox 1 (9-8)
Jim Lonborg took a one hit shutout into the ninth inning and in a collapse, he turned a fine pitching performance into a loss for the Red Sox. He gave up three straight singles with the final one being an RBI single by Rick Reichardt that tied the game up. After an intentional walk, he got Don Wallace to fly out to put himself one out away from extra frames but he threw a wild pitch that allowed Jay Johnstone to scamper home with the winning run.
It was Lonborg’s first loss of the season and he dropped to 2-1 on the season. He gave up the two runs on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts. For the Angels, Bill Kelso picked up the win after a nice six inning start by Nick Wilhite in which he gave up one run on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts.
There wasn’t a lot of offense in this one. Mike Andrews hit a solo homerun for the Red Sox only run in the fifth inning and I already ran through what the Angels did. Jim Fregosi was the only hitter on either side with two hits. He went two for four and he scored on Reichardt’s single in the ninth.
