1967 American League Pennant Race

April 25, 1967 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 5 (7-5), Athletics 0 

A four run first inning and some great pitching by Joe Sparma helped the Tigers win their series opener with the A’s.  Sparma threw a five hit shuout in which he walked four and struck out six.  He improved to 1-0 on the season.

Five different Tigers drove in the five runs.  Dick McAuliffe led the way and he went one for two with a homerun, two walks, two runs and an RBI.
