September 20, 1967 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 10 (86-67), Yankees 1
The Tigers turned on the offense as they took care of the Yankees but with the three teams in front of them also winning, all the Tigers could do is keep pace with the rest of the top teams. Al Kaline was the hitting star with a big day at the plate. He went three for four with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs while Don Wert homered, drove in two and scored twice.
Joe Sparma improved to 15-9 with the win. He gave up one run on seven hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in the complete game win.
