April 30, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Athletics 3, Tigers 1 (12-5)
The Tigers ended April on a losing note but they had to be happy with 12-5 record during the month. The Tigers made three errors in this one but none of them came into play with regard to the score. Earl Wilson fell to 2-3 and he gave up three runs, all in the first inning. After that rough first, he threw eight innings of shutout ball and gave up just four hits but the Tigers couldn’t get the sticks going to give Wilson the win.
Jim Northrup singled, drew a walk and scored the lone Tiger run. Bill Freehan was the only player with two hits in the game.
