August 10, 1967 at Tiger Stadium
White Sox 2 (61-47), Tigers 1 (59-51)
The White Sox pen outdid the Tigers pen in a close win. Wilbur Wood was bounced after four innings but four relievers combined for five innings of shutout ball. Hoyt Wilhelm picked up the win and he improved to 7-2. Joe Locker pitched a perfect ninth and he picked up save number thirteen.
Joe Sparma was good but the run he gave up in the seventh tied the game up. Then Mike Marshall gave up a solo homerun to Ken Boyer to make it 2-1 and that would end up being the final score.
Don Buford was three for four for the White Sox. Bill Freehan singled twice for the Tigers.
