Friday, June 9, 1967: California 3, Tigers 1

Anaheim, CA- The Tigers' hitting woes continued in a 3-1 loss to the California Angels on Friday night.

Detroit (27-24) has scored 15 runs in its past seven games.

The Tigers put runners on second and third with nobody out in the ninth inning, but reliever Bill Kelso took over for starter George Brunet and struck out the next three hitters---Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Bill Freehan---to preserve the victory.

Kaline hit his ninth home run in the seventh inning for the Tigers' lone run.

The Angels struck early, plating two runners in the first inning off starter Denny McLain (4-6). Jim Fregosi's single drove home Jose Cardenal (walk, stolen base), and Don Mincher doubled to deep center to score Fregosi from first base.

Rick Reichardt's triple in the fourth inning scored Jimmy Hall to make it 3-0.

The Tigers are 4-4 on their current 15-game road trip.
