September 16, 1967 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 5 (85-64), Senators 4
The Tigers moved into sole possession of first place in the American League behind a solid outing by Earl Wilson. The Duke won his league leading 21st game and he gave up two runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings. Fred Lasher was roughed up for two runs in his 1 2/3 innings of work but it was good enough for his ninth save of the season.
Norm Cash was the hitting star with a single, a homerun, two RBIs and two runs. Willie Horton singled, doubled and scored a run.
