Tuesday, May 16, 1967: Tigers 4, Washington 3

Washington, D.C.- Jim Price's single scored Norm Cash with the go-ahead run in the ninth inning, and the Tigers stole away with a 4-3 win over the Washington Senators on Tuesday night.

Price's hit broke a 2-2 tie and the Tigers added another run on Ray Oyler's bloop single one batter later.

The Senators scratched out a run in the bottom of the ninth and had runners on second and third, but Paul Casanova popped out to short to end the game.

John Hiller (2-0) got the win in relief for Detroit (15-12), winners of two in a row.

Both Tigers runs in the ninth were charged to lefty reliever (and loser) Dick Lines.

Fred Gladding pitched a shaky but successful ninth to earn his fifth save of the season.

Earl Wilson pitched seven strong innings for the Tigers (two hits, eight strikeouts, no walks) and Willie Horton hit a solo homer in the fifth for a 2-0 Detroit lead.

In a rarity, Dick McAuliffe walked five times.
