1967 American League Pennant Race

September 24, 1967 at D.C. Stadium
Senators 5, Tigers 4 (88-68)

In a game that came back to haunt them, the Tigers blew a two run lead heading into the ninth inning when Fred Lasher and John Hiller combined to give up three runs in the bottom of the ninth.  Lasher took the loss and a solid start by Joe Sparma went to waste.  He gave up two runs on three hits and three walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Eddie Mathews had the big day at the plate for the Tigers.  He went three for four with a homerun and two RBIs.  Jerry Lumpe also belted a homerun and both Al Kaline and Willie Horton had two hits a a piece.
