September 23, 1967 at Memorial Stadium
Orioles 7, Red Sox 5 (89-68)
The Red Sox had a chance to move into sole possession of first place in the American League but they couldn’t take advantage of the Twins loss as their pitchers got knocked around. Lee Stange gave up four runs in three innings and then John Wyatt took the loss when he gave up two runs while he got just one batter out.
Carl Yastrzemski was the hitting star in the loss. He went two for four with two RBIs, two runs and his 42nd homerun of the season.
