May 26, 1968 at the Oakland Coliseum
Athletics 7, Tigers 6 (24-15)
The Tigers lost a bizare one as Joe Sparma was pummelled for six runs total in the second, third and fourth innings. The Tigers then scored two in the fifth and four in the sixth to tie it before the game settled down and the final three regulation innings were scoreless on both sides. Then John Hiller was touched up for a run in the bottom of the tenth as the Tigers dropped their fourth game in their last five.
Mickey Stanley had a nice day at the plate. He went two for five with a triple, an RBI and two runs. Don Wert singled, doubled and scored a run in the loss.
