August 24, 1967 at Fenway Park
Red Sox 7 (70-55), Senators 5

The Red Sox scored a majority of their runs via the long ball as they moved back into a tie for first place with the White Sox in the American League.  Elston Howard had the big shot with a three run homer while Jerry Adair and Jim Landis both belted solo homers in the win.

Dave Morehead picked up the win with a solid start and he improved to 3-2 on the season.  He gave up two runs on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.  John Wyatt got a couple of batters out in a tough ninth inning and he picked up his seventeenth save of the season.
