1967 American League Pennant Race

September 13, 1967 at Fenway Park
Red Sox 4 (84-63), Athletics 2

The Red Sox won their fourth straight game to remain tied with Twins for first place in the American League on a day where all four contenders won their games.  For the Red Sox, it was a three run eighth inning to turned out to be the difference in the game.  The big hit of the inning was a two run double by Rico Petrocelli.  The shortstop finished with two hits and three RBIs in the win.

Lee Stange almost had a great start go to waste.  He gave up one unearned run on six hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings.  John Wyatt gave up a run in two innings of relief to close out the game and he improved to 9-6 on the season.
