July 30, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 5, Yankees 0 (64-39)
The Tigers bounced back and ended their two game mini skid behind a very solid outing by Earl Wilson. The Duke improved to 9-8 and he gave up just three hits and three walks with five strikeouts in eight shutout innings. Daryl Patterson struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to pick up his fourth save of the season.
Earl Wilson helped out his own cause with a solo homer, his third long ball of the season. Dick McAuliffe went one for three with two walks, a solo homerun and two runs while Jim Northrup went three for five with a double.
