April 16, 1968 at Fenway Park
Tigers 9, Red Sox 2 (4-1)
The Tigers ran up the score in their most impressive offensive performance of the short season and won their fourth straight game. While there were plenty of hitting stars, it was Willie Horton who led the way. He went three for six with two doubles, two RBIs and a run. Bill Freehan went three for four with two runs and Dick McAuliffe walked four times and scored a run.
Earl Wilson not only picked up two hits, a run and an RBI but he threw a gem of a game. He gave up just two runs on four hits and five walks with eight strikeouts in the complete game win.
