1967 American League Pennant Race

April 18, 1967 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 4 (4-3), Angels 1 (3-4)

Earl Wilson pitched the Tigers to a win in their home opener.  Wilson gave up only a single run on seven hits and four walks with six strikeouts in his first win of the season.  Marcelino Lopez threw better then he did in his previous game against the Tigers, but it wasn’t good enough and he dropped to 0-2.  He gave up two runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Bill Freehan had a big day at the plate.  He went two for four with a double and two RBis.  Al Kaline hit a solo shot, his third homerun of the season.  The Angels scored their only run on Jimmie Hall’s solo shot in the second inning.
