1967 American League Pennant Race

September 12, 1967 at Fenway Park
Red Sox 3 (83-63), Athletics 1

Jim Lonborg improved to 20-7 on the season as the Red Sox took care of the Athletics and moved back into a tie with the Twins for first place in the American League.  Lonborg went the distance and he gave up one run on eight hits two walks with eight strikeouts.

Reggie Smith belted a solo homer in the fifth inning to put the Red Sox on the board.  Then Jim Lonborg helped out his own cause when, with the game tied 1-1, he tripled home a run and later scored on a sac. fly for the deciding runs.
