September 1, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 7, Orioles 3 (86-51)
The Tigers entered the final month of their historic and took care of business behind another solid start by Denny McLain. He improved to 27-5 and he gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks with nine strikeouts. McLain not only had to contend with a 43 minute rain delay that put off the start of the game, but he also had to deal with a 51 minute delay after the Tigers hit in the bottom of the first inning.
Jim Northrup had a big game and he went three for five with a homerun, three RBIs and two runs. Mickey Stanley also had three hits to go along with run and RBI while Dick McAuliffe went one for three with two walks and three runs.
