May 1, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 3, Twins 2 (13-5)
Willie Horton drove in Dick McAuliffe with a sac. fly in the bottom of the eighth inning to break a 2-2 tie to win their first game in the May. With just five hits, the Tigers needed a two run homer by Jim Northrup in the fifth inning to give them the additional runs they needed to pull this one out.
Denny McLain improved to 3-0 with a nice start. He gave up two runs (both on solo homers) on six hits with nine strikeouts in a complete game win.
