1967 American League Pennant Race

September 20, 1967 at Cleveland Stadium
Red Sox 5 (87-66), Indians 4

The Red Sox kept pace with the Twins with a win over the Indians with some ninth inning heroics.  Reggie Smith singled home Carl Yastrzemski to break a 4-4 tie to win it for the Sox.

Yastrzemski was the hitting star in the game.  He went four for five and he belted his 41st homer of the season in addition to scoring that winning run.  Rico Petrocelli went yard with a two run homer while Mike Andrews belted a solo shot.

Jim Lonborg gave up four runs in seven innings but when he left, the game was tied.  John Wyatt gave up just one hit in 1 2/3 innings and he improved to 10-6 with the win.
