Thursday, May 25, 1967: Boston 13, Tigers 1

Detroit, MI- Earl Wilson had been the Tigers best and most consistent starting pitcher, so the prospects of avoiding a three-game sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox looked good---for about an inning.

The Red Sox scored eight runs in the second inning---all charged to Wilson---and went on to an easy 13-1 victory over the Tigers on Thursday night.

Wilson's ERA jumped a full run, to 4.19, thanks to the 1.1 inning outing.

The biggest blow came from starting pitcher Jose Santiago, who gave Wilson, a fine-hitting pitcher, a taste of his own medicine by slugging a three-run homer into the upper deck in left field for a 5-0 lead.

George Scott capped the big inning with a bases loaded triple.

Santiago pitched a complete game, allowing just four hits, including a solo homer by Norm Cash in the sixth inning.

With the sweep, the Red Sox (19-17) leapfrogged past the Tigers (18-17) into second place in the American League.

The Red Sox outscored the Tigers 23-2 in the three games.
