May 8, 1968 at Memorial Stadium
Tigers 3, Orioles 1 (16-9)
Earl Wilson had one of his best starts of the season as he gave up just one unearned run in eight innings of work. That lone run didn’t come until the ninth inning and it was Jon Warden who came in to put out the fire. He struck out one and got all three batters he faced out in the ninth to earn his second save of the season.
Jim Northrup put the Tigers on the board with a solo homer in the first inning. Willie Horton went two for three with a walk, a run and an RBI.
