August 30, 1967 at Anaheim Stadium
Angels 3 (66-65), Tigers 2 (74-59)
The Angels avoided a four game sweep at the hands of the Tigers and it wasn’t until a dramatic ninth inning until they did so. The Tigers tagged Angels starter McGlothlin for two runs in the sixth inning to take a 2-1 lead and that score stood when the Angels entered the bottom of the ninth. Through eight innings, Earl Wilson had given up only one run on three hits.
Jim Fregosi led off the ninth with a ground out but Wilson lost Hall to a walk. Then Morton came up huge with an RBI double to tie up the game. Bubba Morton ended up moving over to third on an error by Al Kaline. Fred Lasher replaced Wilson, who got Moose Skowron to ground out but the play at the plate was late and the Angels walked away with the win.
Wilson dropped to 18-10 on the season. Angels reliever Bill Kelso walked away with his fifth win.
