Tuesday, June 13, 1967: Tigers 7, Minnesota 6 (10 inn)

Bloomington, MN- Bill Freehan, for the second straight night, slugged two home runs---including the game-winner in the 10th inning, and the Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins, 7-6.

Freehan, who had two homers and five RBI on Monday, added two more round trippers and four more RBI on Tuesday as he went 4-for-5.

Freehan, with two out in the tenth, drove a Ron Kline fastball deep into the left field stands.

Fred Gladding pitched a perfect inning to earn his 13th save. Mike Marshall (2-0) got credit for the win.

The key moment came in the Twins' half of the eighth inning.

Trailing 6-3, Minnesota scored three runs to tie the game without making an out. They then had runners on second and third with nobody out. Dave Wickersham, who walked the first two batters he faced, then settled down and retired the next three Twins to keep the score tied, 6-6.

Backup shortstop Dick Tracewski delivered a two-run triple in the seventh inning to put the Tigers ahead, 4-3.

Detroit (31-24), which has won seven of its past eight, added two runs in the eighth for a 6-3 lead.

Minnesota right-hander Dean Chance started the game strong, retiring the first 10 Tigers hitters, while the Twins jumped out to a 3-0 lead against Denny McLain. But Freehan clubbed his first home run, a two-run shot, in the fifth inning to make the score 3-2.

Harmon Killebrew had four hits, including a double and a two-run homer, for the Twins.
