Friday, July 14, 1967: Tigers 3, Washington 1

Washington, DC- The Tigers didn't get a base hit until the seventh inning and committed three errors, yet they still managed to beat the Washington Senators, 3-1 at DC Stadium.

Willie Horton's lead-off double in the seventh broke up Phil Ortega's no-hit bid, and two more doubles followed from Bill Freehan and Jim Northrup to turn a 1-0 Washington lead into a 2-1 Tigers advantage.

The Tigers added an insurance run in the ninth when Ray Oyler walked with the bases loaded.

The Senators' lone run came on a Frank Howard homer in the first inning, his second round tripper of the series.

Earl Wilson (9-5) pitched 6.1 innings to earn the victory. Fred Gladding pitched the ninth for his 17th save.

The Tigers (46-37) have won five of six.
