July 6, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Athletics 4, Tigers 1 (53-28)
The Tigers five game winning streak came to an end in a game that saw Tigers hitters pick up just six hits. Jim Northrup went two for three with a double and he scored the lone Tiger run.
Earl Wilson was roughed up and he fell to 6-6 on the season. He gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. Wilson had rough game too because he was hit by comebackers not once but twice. Both came in the fifth and the first time he got nailed on his shoulder and the second time, he was hit on the hand.
