June 13, 1967 at Metropolitan Stadium
Tigers 15 (32-23), Twins 10 (28-28)
The Tigers snapped their five game winning streak in a crazy game that saw the two teams combine for 25 runs and 31 hits. The Tigers jumped out to an 11-5 lead after a ten run sixth inning but saw that nearly disappear when the Twins made it 11-10 with five runs in the bottom of the sixth. That’s all the Twins would get though, while the Tigers continued to pile on runs.
Five different Tigers had at least two RBIs and five had at least two runs. Dick McAuliffe, Al Kaline and Willie Horton all had three hits and Norm Cash and MaAuliffe each hit homeruns.
For the Twins, Tony Oliva homered, tripled and drove in three runs while Cesar Tovar had three hits and two runs. Rod Carew also had a solid game with two singles and two runs.
Denny McLain actually picked up the win in this one and he improved to 7-7. He did this despite giving up five runs in five innings. Dean Chance took the loss for the Twins. He was tagged for six runs on nine hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings.
