1967 American League Pennant Race

August 30, 1967 at Yankee Stadium
Red Sox 2 (76-58), Yankees 1

After playing 28 innings yesterday, the Red Sox and Yankees played eleven more in an extra frame win for the Red Sox.  Carl Yastrzemski had the game winning hit with a solo homerun in the eleventh.  It was his 35th long ball of the season.  Reggie Smith also had a nice game and he went two for five with a double and a run.

Jerry Stephenson almost saw a nice start go to waste.  He gave up just one run on four hits with four strikeouts in seven innings.  John Wyatt improved to 8-6 and he gave up two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in four innings of shutout relief.
