Sunday, June 25, 1967: New York 2, Tigers 1

Bronx, NY- The Tigers wasted a brilliant performance by Mickey Lolich in falling to the New York Yankees, 2-1, at Yankee Stadium.

Lolich (8-5) allowed just two hits---both in the sixth inning, when the Yankees scored both their runs---but it didn't prevent the hard-luck loss as the Tigers managed to push just one run across the plate.

Mel Stottlemyre pitched a complete game for New York, scattering eight hits.

The Tigers (36-31) have lost four of five.

Lolich carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, when the Tigers moved ahead 1-0 at the top of the frame.

In poor weather conditions, Lolich bobbled a weak grounder by Stottlemyre to start the sixth. One out later, Bill Robinson broke up the no-hitter with a single, sending Stottlemyre to third. Mickey Mantle followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game. Elston Howard walked, and Tom Tresh followed with an RBI double to score the second Yankees run.

That was enough for Stottlemyre, who allowed just two harmless singles (both by Don Wert) the rest of the way.
