September 21, 1967 at Cleveland Stadium
Red Sox 6 (88-66), Indians 5
A 6-1 lead turned into a one run game in a hurry as the Red Sox almost let this one slip away from them. Gary Bell ended up with the win and he threw 6 1/3 innings in his start but he gave up four of the five runs that the Indians scored. He improved to 13-12 and he struck out eight.
Mike Andrews was a perfect three for three and he doubled, drove in a run, drew a walk and scored twice. Dalton Jones singled and he drove in two runs in the win.
The Twins won, so once again the Red Sox found themselves tied for first place at the end of the day. With the Tigers and White Sox idle though, they at least put some distance on the other two contenders.
