Saturday, June 17, 1967: Tigers 4-2, Kansas City 3-7 (DH)

Detroit, MI- Tony Pierce pitched a complete-game, seven-hitter, and Detroit's Earl Wilson surrendered four home runs as the Kansas City A's earned a split of a doubleheader with a 7-2 win on Saturday.

The Tigers won the first game, 4-3, with a run in the bottom of the ninth.

Wilson (8-5) was battered in his four-plus inning start as the A's took him deep four times---by Rick Monday (twice), Mitch Webster and Jim Gosger.

The Tigers bullpen shut the A's down after the fifth inning, but the damage had been done.

In the opener, Detroit (32-27) fell behind 3-0 but scored single runs in the sixth through ninth innings to pull out the victory.

The Tigers scored the winning run when Willie Horton's double scored Al Kaline from first base with one out in the ninth.

Kaline (12) hit a home run in each game.
