[powered by WordPress.]
September 15, 1967 at Fenway Park
Orioles 6, Red Sox 2 (84-64)
The bad news is, the Red Sox lost. The good news is, they remained in first place. The other bad news is, things the American League pennant race got even tighter because with the Tigers win, there was now a three way tie for first place with the White Sox nipping at the heels.
Dave Morehead took the loss and he fell to 5-4. He gave up three runs on three hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings. Each of the four pitchers that the Red Sox used gave up runs in the loss.
Reggie Smith belted a solo homerun, his fifteenth of the season. Carl Yastrzemski went three for four and he scored a run.
