Saturday, July 15, 1967: Tigers 1, Washington 0

Washington, DC- Mickey Stanley's solo home run in the eighth inning was the only offense of the game, as the Tigers beat the Washington Senators, 1-0 at DC Stadium.

Mickey Lolich (9-5) pitched 8.1 innings to earn the win, while Fred Gladding picked up his 18th save by inducing a double play ground ball from pinch-hitter Ed Stroud.

The Tigers (47-37) have won six of their past seven games and moved to within 2.5 games of the first-place Chicago White Sox---the closest the Tigers have been to first place in many weeks.

Stanley's homer made a tough-luck loser out of Senators starter Barry Moore, who went eight innings and gave up just four base hits while striking out six and walking none.

Lolich struck out 13 Senators hitters and surrendered six hits. He walked three.

The Tigers are now off to Boston for a quick two-game series before facing these same Senators in Detroit for three games starting on Tuesday.
