1967 American League Pennant Race

September 17, 1967 at Tiger Stadium
Senators 5, Tigers 0  (85-65)

The Tigers out hit the Senators but they couldn’t push a single baserunner across the plate as the Senators snapped the Tigers four game winning streak.  Despite the loss, the Tigers kept sole possession of first place because of losses by both the Red Sox and the Twins although second place was now occupied by the White Sox, who sat just a half game back of the Tigers.

John Hiller dropped to 4-2 with the loss.  He gave up four runs in just 4 1/3 innings while reliever Pat Dobson was also tagged for a run.

Bill Freehan was the only Tiger with more then one hit.  He went three for four with a double.
