1967 American League Pennant Race

April 28, 1967 at Memorial Stadium
Orioles 5, Tigers 3 (7-6)

Most of the scoring in this game happened in the first inning and all of it went down in the first three frames.  The Tigers scored two quick runs in the first then Denny McLain gave up four in the bottom half of the inning.  The Orioles then added a run in the second and the Tigers added one in the third and the 5-3 lead would end up being the final.

McLain was gone in the second inning and he dropped to 2-2.  Four relievers then combined to hold the Orioles to two hits in 6 1/3 innings, but the Tigers couldn’t get the bats going to mount a comeback.

Dick McAuliffe and Al Kaline both hit solo shots.  Al Kaline went three for four with two RBIs and a run.
