Sunday, May 21, 1967: New York 4-6, Tigers 5-7 (DH; 2nd, 13 inn)

Detroit, MI- Norm Cash's pinch-hit, solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning tied the second game of Sunday's doubleheader, and the Tigers won it in 13 innings over the New York Yankees, 7-6, sweeping the twinbill.

Detroit won the first game, 5-4.

The Yankees, in the nightcap, rallied from a 5-1 deficit and eventually took a 6-5 lead on Ruben Amaro's single in the ninth. But Cash led off the Tigers' half of the ninth and lofted a fly ball into the short porch in right field, victimizing Yankees reliever Dooley Womack, who saved the first two games of this series for New York.

In Game 1, Detroit snapped a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning with a pair of runs, then hung on in the ninth, fending off a Yankees rally.

The teams ended up splitting the four-game series.

Johnny Podres helped the Tigers' cause in the nightcap with three scoreless innings of relief (11th-13th innings) to earn the victory.

The winning run in Game 2 came after two consecutive errors by the Yankees in the infield (Amaro and Mickey Mantle) allowed Jim Northrup, who led off the frame with a pinch-hit single, to scamper home.

Earl Wilson was credited with the win in Game 1 with Fred Gladding notching his sixth save for the Tigers (18-14).
