Saturday, June 10, 1967: Tigers 8, California 0

Anaheim, CA- Dick McAuliffe went 5-for-5 and scored twice, Willie Horton had four hits (including a three-run homer) and Mickey Stanley burst out of a season-long slump with three hits, including a run-scoring triple, and the Tigers bats finally woke up with a lopsided 8-0 victory over the California Angels at the Big A.

McAuliffe's hits were all singles, but Horton's mammoth shot (10) helped pace the win.

The Tigers rapped out 15 hits off four Angels pitchers.

Earl Wilson (8-4)  tossed a four-hit shutout for Detroit (28-24), which has won five of six.

The Tigers jumped all over Angels starter Clyde Wright, nicking him for six runs in four innings.

In 97.1 innings this year, opponents are hitting just .196 against Wilson, who leads the Tigers staff in wins.

Horton's homer off Wright in the third inning made the score 5-0. He added three singles in his next three at-bats and finished with four RBI.

Wilson walked two and struck out eight Angels, earning his first shutout of the year.

Game 52 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
DET 2 0 3 1 2 0 0 0 0 8 15 0
CAL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0

WP- Wilson (8-4)
LP- Wright
