Friday, May 19, 1967: New York 4, Tigers 2 (11 innings)

Detroit, MI- Steve Whitaker slugged a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the 11th inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Tigers, 4-2, at Tiger Stadium.

The lefty swinging Whitaker connected off southpaw reliever John Hiller, who came on in relief of Dave Wickersham in time to surrender the home run.

Tigers starter Mickey Lolich pitched nine innings, but it wasn't enough to keep the game from going into extra innings.

The loss broke a modest three-game winning streak for Detroit (16-13), which was starting a 14-game home stand.

Jim Northrup and Al Kaline each had an RBI for the Tigers.

Thad Tillotson earned the win in relief, while Dooley Womack pitched the 11th inning for the save, surrendering just a single.
