Wednesday, July 19, 1967: Washington 3, Tigers 0

Detroit, MI- Phil Ortega pitched a complete game, five-hit shutout, as the Washingto Senators beat the Tigers, 3-0, on Wednesday night.

Ken McMullen's two-run homer in the eighth gave Ortega some breathing room as the Senators tripled their lead from 1-0.

Paul Casanova hit a solo homer in the second inning. Both home runs came off starter Mickey Lolich (9-6), who went eight innings.

Ortega didn't walk a batter and struck out three in his gem.

The Tigers (49-39), who lost for just the third time in 11 games, went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

Don Wert's one-out triple in the second inning provided the Tigers with their best scoring chance of the evening, but Ortega induced a pop up from Norm Cash and a ground ball from Dick Tracewski to get out of the jam.
