Thursday, June 22, 1967: Minnesota 6, Tigers 2

Detroit, MI- The Tigers bats were quiet yet again as the Minnesota Twins earned a 6-2 victory at Tiger Stadium Thursday afternoon.

Detroit managed just four hits for the second straight game, falling to lefty Jim Kaat, who pitched a complete game.

The Twins jumped on Tigers starter Joe Sparma (6-7) with two runs in the first inning on a home run by Tony Oliva. Minnesota added four runs in the sixth, driving Sparma from the game.

The Tigers (35-29) didn't score until Bill Freehan deposited his ninth home run into the left field seats, with Al Kaline aboard, in the eighth inning.

Kaat walked two and struck out nine, and helped his own cause with a two-run triple.
