1967 American League Pennant Race

September 9, 1967 at Fenway Park
Red Sox 7 (81-63), Yankees 1

The Red Sox kept up with the Twins and Tigers, who also both won their games, and by days end they sat a half game back of first place just like they did when they entered the day.  Dave Morehead got it done on the mound for the Red Sox and he improved 5-3.  He gave up one run on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts in seven solid frames.  Sparky Lyle threw two perfect innings and he picked up his fifth save of the season.

Carl Yastrzemski belted his 39th homerun of the season.  Rico Petrocelli also went yard with his 15th homer and he scored two runs.
